NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Unemployment remains a major issue across the country.

Many New York and New Jersey residents are losing hope, and are out of cash.

Adam D’Aleo has listened to the New York Department of Labor’s “we are experiencing high call volume” recording more times than he can count.

“It’s embarrassing, I remember it,” D’Aleo said.

When he was laid off at the beginning of April, he filed for unemployment benefits online. Every time he logs in, he gets this notice: “To complete the claim, call the claims center.”

‘’...People Have No Food, People Are Talking About Suicide...”

Meanwhile, the vile demonic Botoxian feasts upon gourmet ice cream from its $24,000 freezer while the “unwashed masses” stand waiting in breadlines. The demon needs to be sent back to its Big Daddy in hell.

“...Andrew Cuomo doesn’t give a damn about anyone but Andrew Cuomo....”

I believe that’s what you would call a “BINGO!”
This slithering, lying, “blame everyone else”, communist SOB has blood all over his hands and is unfit to govern a chicken house.
Presidential timber? Hardly.

Meanwhile, NO furloughed NY government employee has missed a paycheck. NO furloughed Federal government employee has missed a paycheck.

So, everybody ELSE, stay out of work.

Amazing how unprepared the states were for the extra millions of people filing. Sounds like the Obamacare website issues.

Did all state governors’ IT staff not have enough time to get ready? Not enough funds? Seems like no state was prepared for the unemployment rush. I’m pretty average on technical knowledge so am interested in how these things fail at such high levels of government.

This is a sinister plan to economically cleanse an entire sector of a political opponent.

I’m sorry but I’d be marching armed on the state capital before I’d contemplate suicide.

16 Dec 2019: Real Clear Energy: Madrid Climate Conference Ends in Failure
By Rupert Darwall
Speaing two years before the Paris climate conference, Yvo de Boer, former executive secretary of the UN climate convention, was more candid. “The only way that a 2015 agreement can achieve a 2-degree goal is to shut down the whole global economy,” he said...

5 Nov 2013: Press Reader: Montreal Gazette: Climate-change veterans see goals slipping away
‘Only way a 2015 agreement can achieve a two-degree goal is to shut down the whole global economy’
by Alex Morales (Bloomberg)
“There is nothing that can be agreed in 2015 that would be consistent with the two degrees,” said Yvo de Boer, who was UNFCCC executive secretary in 2009, when attempts to reach a deal at a summit in Copenhagen crumbled with a rift between industrialized and developing nations.
“The only way that a 2015 agreement can achieve a two-degree goal is to shut down the whole global economy.”...

“The economic realities, the energy security realities, the poverty eradication realities, the access to energy realities are such that the main thing is to get as many countries as possible to make as bold a next step as they can without feeling threatened,” de Boer, now a special adviser on climate change to the accounting firm KPMG LLP, said by phone from Seoul. “By definition a 2015 outcome, even a brilliant one, must be inadequate, and it will lead to severe impacts.”...

If lockdowns save just one life... it’s worth causing the loss of a few other, less “essential” lives...

I guess politicians like playing God.

‘People Have No Food, People Are Talking About Suicide’

Well, if they have no food, they can just wait a couple of weeks...

/S

There are a ton of food banks and churches in NYC. Just call a church, or even a synagogue. They'll tell you were to get food.

Saturday and Sunday 7:30 AM - 8:00 PM

Due to enormous volume, there may be considerable wait time. Please be patient; everyone who is entitled will get their benefits.

If you are a hearing impaired individual who is being assisted by another person, call the Telephone Claims Center at (888) 783-1370

I would do my best “Can’t Hear” impersonation....
