I could retire, so probably older than you, I’m an old SOB to you, not a millennium throwing tantrums. First time in my life was “Furloughed” Furlough terms means nothing outside of government, laid-off!

The system has been broke since Scott broke it on purpose.

It’s broken. How does adding 10,000 servers help when the system is now shut down 12 plus hours a day. Wasn’t in March. They have disabled most all features in it. That’s improvement. I know I live it. My representatives and Senator are trying to get to the bottom of it. The DOE does not respond to them either. No luck in three weeks.

They have paid 4% of claims at the lowest rate in the nation. Let me reword that of the 800,000 claims they have 96% of the people can’t get a response...... You call that fixed.

Please consider me an old SOB. You are wrong and tote the company line like a liberal on steroids.

I’ve been around for awhile, too. Us old farts should know better.

I know the status they’re reporting on the news. I also know a few people who did get paid via direct deposit. I think it’s probably higher than 6%, or whatever they report, but also know Ron is doing everything he can to get peiple paid. He’s no soacker. In fact, I wouldn’t want to be the people holding anything up. He doesn’t fook around with incompetence. I’ve seen it. You know he was a Navy Officer, right? regardless, simple question:

What would you have done differently than Desantis did?

NY also crashed and burned. Many states not much better off. Nobody designed their systems to tolerate a 2000% load, for weeks. I’ve done a fair amount of computer systems. When have maybe 6 servers doing something, and suddenly need 100 !ore, and have to get them operational yesterday, without taking down the current system, it’s going to be no picnic. That’s just for taking and processing applications.

The payment system was just as underpowered. And he had a liar saying, “Don’t worry, Gov! We got it!” While he was working 24/7 with fed, state, locals trying to get a handle on an epidemic killing people daily. Suddenly, he had to do their job for them, too—the unemployment system.

I honestly love the guy, and think your anger at him is misplaced. They are all doing the best they can, and it will be fixed, literally ASAP. Desantis is a Trump protege, and works on Trump time. Hang in there.

I’m going to ride my bike on the beach right now, and not wear a mask, not helmet. It’s a nice day.

P.s. I work for myself and am not getting paid right now, at all. Zero. It will get better.
