Sorry to hear you're having hard times.

I'm not asking for your sympathy. I’m just trying to make the point that it’s not your money that is being used in providing unemployment benefits to the unemployed. While there are always people that will take advantage of the system, there are more people that need it to temporally get by until things get better. It is compassion, not sympathy that makes the difference.

Here's a suggestion, U-Haul. I'd suggest moving to NC, but we have little tolerance for whiners.

Thank you for the suggestion. I apply for jobs in any location across the United States and I am willing to move if I have an opportunity. A statement of facts is usually not considered whining but blanket condemnation of people you do not know and spewing off about conditions you are not aware of is.

Keep your 'dumbass' comments and sarcasm for someone who cares.

Yeah, that statement was a little over the top.

Please accept my apologies.

It is pretty sad that you do not care about other people and can justify in your mind statements that write off and classify people you do not even know. In my youth I was a DemocRAT and one of the biggest flaming LIBERALs you would ever hope to meet. It took me a long time to become an independent conservative because I had this mistaken idea that I was helping people by supporting socialistic programs. I see now that I was doing more harm than good. I never stopped caring about other people but I did change my method of helping. Everyone needs help at sometime in their lives. I just hope when that time comes for you there is someone with more compassion than yourself available.

My original post: there are some percentage of workers who would get off their asses and go back to work.

Hardly a blanket comdemnation.

I'll stand by my original observations. There are jobs for everyone in America. Maybe not in your career choices, or choice of geographical location, or income level.

You both made your own choices and continue to do so.
