    My mom's unemployment is totally stalled out. We literally have no clue what's the next step to take, I've exhausted all the online options and their phone number is busy all hours of the day. It's so funny because my aunt's all like "well they have to give you unemployment you have no job" to her and I'm like uhh no they don't, their job is to deny you UC benefits, that's how the system's designed.

        Thanks. I mean I'm not surprised it's this hard, like I said all of this is on purpose to hurt the poor who can no longer provide for their boss. It's like the neoliberals can't go full mask off fash and kill the poor so they keep the mask on and set up systems that are broken on purpose to give you the impression that they really really do care (they don't.) But yeah, heaven forbid someone who was lying gets those UC benefits, so let's means test it so hard we break it and no one can get them!

        Another example with my mom is how she doesn't qualify for normal welfare or food stamps because she's married. But there's no way to explain to bureaucratic neolib managers that yes she's married but her husband doesn't help her and they are too poor to get divorced.
