My job still has me employed, but I'm not getting any hours and I'm not working.
The good thing is, Unemployment would be able to give me money even though I'm not technically unemployed.
The bad thing is, you have to have a minimum quarterly income in order to get unemployment. In my case, I would have to have been working 35+ hours in order to qualify. I was just working 20-25 hours a week and barely squeezing by.
I can understand a maximum amount of income, but a minimum? It makes no sense that you'd have to make a certain amount of money in order to get unemployment. You mean welfare has a lower limit? Blasphemy!
This sounds like a bunch of government bureaucratic bullshit. No, the government is not fucking over the poor and the lower class, not at all. No, the government isn't sucking the fucking cocks of the middle class, and especially the rich. Naw, the government isn't bending over and taking it up the ass from the richest Americans. In this honest, non-corrupt nation? Never!
So I guess what Unemployment and the government of Michigan is saying is they'd rather me NOT pay my rent, they'd rather me BECOME homeless, and they'd rather pay money up the fucking wazzoo in homeless shelters and programs WHEN I'M HOMELESS than give me unemployment so I can try to pay rent.
You know what. The US and state governments are fucked. They're full of bullshit and corruption and cocksucking and they're the only ones to blame for their massive deficits and broken government. As long as we have corrupt and greedy and STUPID people in government doing selfish stupid things we'll have people who are poor and unemployed and homeless.
