OFFICIAL OUSDAHL IS FUNEMPLOYED THREAD

[Geezer]

I was single drawing union wages and working overtime for 9 months. I was swimming in money.

[TDub]

Didn't try.

Obligatory JFC.


Swimming in money and still applying for and collecting unemployment. You are the problem

I've worked construction for 18 years and never had a problem finding winter work. In 18 years I not once have collected an unemployment check.


Theres nothing wrong with collecting unemployment provided you need it and are actively looking for employment while receiving the benefits.

[Geezer]

You pay into it.

[pdub]

Stevan Seagal probably collected unemployment.

I suppose you could be criticized for not landing a job as a farm real estate appraiser for a bank in some podunk town where you could spend all day on a message board providing dumbshit opinions.

LOL....I do farm RE, commercial RE, and residential RE......and I don't live in a podunk town.

I'm with you. Bragging about "swimming in money" and collecting unemployment while NOT even attempting to look for work. SMH.

fwiw, most UI prgms require one to provide evidence that job apps have been submitted on a specified, periodic basis. Whether they are submitted in a sincere fashion? There's the rub...

[TDub]

You pay into it.

Yes I'm well aware of that. But, its intent is to provide a safety net for those who are truly in need and between opportunities. Not meant for those who are swimming in money but dont feel like working all year.

It's people who take advantage of it that make a lot of people against additional social programs. Why should I pay into something that people like younger you just knowingly exploit?

Hey, I'm all for helping those in need within reason (just don't think people NEED cable TV and cigarettes)...and don't think people "swimming in money" should be eligible for unemployment so that they don't have to budget their income and live within their means to account for the winter months when they're not working.

How many jobs have you applied for? Or still focusing on your "writing"?

[ousdahl]

Oh yeah, now we’re talking...jobless smack talk!

My younger brother's neighbor is a welfare queen. She's a huge, beastly women, never leaves the house because she is so fat and when she does leave, she drives a new mustang convertible. And I think she has like 8 kids or something.
