#american unemployment

[rabbiteclair]

a while back my mom discovered that the owner of the company was stealing basically all of the money that he was supposed to submit for things like 'taxes' and 'health insurance' and 'court-mandated payments' for the employees, listing them on the pay stubs but then pocketing the money to help keep the company afloat

she then made sure that everybody in the company knew, submitted her resignation effective immediately, and spent about the next week calling government offices to report every crime, regulatory violation, and breach of employment contract that she could think of. and now it looks like the series of investigations that she kicked off might be the thing that finally destroys this man's company.

sometimes I'm proud of her

#and if you want a succinct summary of the American labor situation #after she told her coworkers about all of this #including things like 'turns out we all lost our health insurance a month ago because he stopped paying for it' #nobody else quit. everybody else decided that it was worth putting up with very direct wage theft and tax fraud to avoid unemployment #even the people in very in-demand positions who could trivially find work elsewhere #also i used to work for the guy too because he owned a good chunk of the businesses around my home area when i was a teenager #i met him once and it was when he walked into the store unannounced and then grabbed some stuff and tried walking right out #and got all 'do you even KNOW who I am' pissy when I informed him that this isn't how stores work and you pay for things here #being rich rots your fucking brain i swear to god

Sometimes I get really jealous of people, maybe neurotypicals, because they set a goal and can reach that goal. I can achieve little goals like getting out of bed, but when it comes to career goals, I’m just lost and I lose momentum 1/4th way there. I don’t know if I will ever have a career. I just hope I can get a decent job that I enjoy with good coworkers and not get laid off in a few years.

“The fact of the matter is remote work might be rapidly erasing the very reason for the continued existence of many formerly vibrant American cities.”

I pray for a job this year, but one of the benefits of being unemployed is that I have a lot free time when it comes to learning new skills. I've learned how to cook and bake so many yummy dishes this past year, I am so grateful despite my circumstances. 💞✨

Thinking about the automation of mundane tasks.

Allowing machines to take over more basic tasks could mean allowing people to live their lives and pursue other careers or interests.

Instead of this, we have people losing their jobs in an environment that brutalizes those who don't have resources.

Automation of mundane tasks could mean expanding our collective focus or allowing us to focus on ourselves and relationships. I'm not advocating for abolishing work all-together. Careers can be incredibly fulfilling and there are many organizations that push for environmentalism and accessibility to resources or focus on medical advances. The possibilities are limitless.

But, work culture in America is unhealthy and parasitic, and our infrastructure and systems do not work to support the people.

Thomas, don't pick your nose, and never take a job just for the money. Find something that you love. Do something important. Okay, boyo?

Forcing people to drive 45 min to a different town to claim unemployment is a special kind of evil

By the usual measures, Biden should be cruising to reëlection. Violent crime has dropped to nearly a fifty-year low, unemployment is below four per cent, and in January the S. & P. 500 and the Dow hit record highs. More Americans than ever have health insurance, and the country is producing more energy than at any previous moment in its history. His opponent, who is facing ninety-one criminal counts, has suggested that if he is elected he will fire as many as fifty thousand civil servants and replace them with loyalists, deputize the National Guard as a mass-deportation force, and root out what he calls “the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country.”

My first ever Tumblr post! I'm mainly making this as a means to get myself back into writing and create a space for myself so Facebook friends won't get spammed into my ramblings. I don't think many people will read these or care, but it's my emotional outlet. If you end up following me and get something out of this, I love you already.

I will be posting a lot of vulnerable stories and thoughts so please be nice. Online bullying is definitely a thing.

Quick points about me:

-gonna get laid off from my job Nov 10

-feeling quite lost with the crap job market so I wanna write again

-Chinese American woman living in the Bay Area.

-Born in the Bay, but was partially raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, and spent my junior year of high school in Las Vegas, NV.

-has a screenwriting degree from Chapman, but quickly exited the industry as it clashed with my autism. I couldn't handle the pressure and ass kissing or maybe I was just too weak at the time

-a good sense of humor. I miss the humor of the 90s/2000s. I feel like I have to mask myself even though I'm masking my autism already

-always willing to learn something new

Thanks for making it this far!

Daily Comic Journal: September 15, 2021: "These Health Insurance Payments Make Me Sick."

I was pleasantly surprised months ago when I realized my COBRA payments were covered. I was mailing in payments only to have them sent back, being told that they were covered. I have NO idea how long my inability to get a job will last (or, to be truthful, if I’ll ever get a job again. After all I am 60) but all the money I’ve saved over the last six, several months, should come in handy now that…

Elizabeth Warren On The Pivotal Congressional Election

Elizabeth Warren On The Pivotal Congressional Election

Elizabeth Warren On The Pivotal Congressional Election. With leaders like Elizabeth Warren and our volunteerism strength, we staved off disaster to undeniably turn the pivotal Congressional election we just had all the way around. We have a lot to be proud of, with still the hope for a complete democratic sweep still there. The greatest factor, in fact, was the youth vote. Their participation…

Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #14

April 12-19 2024

The Department of Commerce announced a deal with Samsung to help bring advanced semiconductor manufacturing and research and development to Texas. The deal will bring 45 billion dollars of investment to Texas to help build a research center in Taylor Texas and expand Samsung's Austin, Texas, semiconductor facility. The Biden Administration estimates this will create 21,000 new jobs. Since 1990 America has fallen from making nearly 40% of the world's semiconductor to just over 10% in 2020.

The Department of Energy announced it granted New York State $158 million to help support people making their homes more energy efficient. This is the first payment out of a $8.8 billion dollar program with 11 other states having already applied. The program will rebate Americans for improvements on their homes to lower energy usage. Americans could get as much as $8,000 off for installing a heat pump, as well as for improvements in insulation, wiring, and electrical panel. The program is expected to help save Americans $1 billion in electoral costs, and help create 50,000 new jobs.

The Department of Education began the formal process to make President Biden's new Student Loan Debt relief plan a reality. The Department published the first set of draft rules for the program. The rules will face 30 days of public comment before a second draft can be released. The Administration hopes the process can be finished by the Fall to bring debt relief to 30 million Americans, and totally eliminate the debt of 4 million former students. The Administration has already wiped out the debt of 4.3 million borrowers so far.

The Department of Agriculture announced a $1 billion dollar collaboration with USAID to buy American grown foods combat global hunger. Most of the money will go to traditional shelf stable goods distributed by USAID, like wheat, rice, sorghum, lentils, chickpeas, dry peas, vegetable oil, cornmeal, navy beans, pinto beans and kidney beans, while $50 million will go to a pilot program to see if USAID can expand what it normally gives to new products. The food aid will help feed people in Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Haiti, Kenya, Madagascar, Mali, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Yemen.

The Department of the Interior announced it's expanding four national wildlife refuges to protect 1.13 million wildlife habitat. The refuges are in New Mexico, North Carolina, and two in Texas. The Department also signed an order protecting parts of the Placitas area. The land is considered sacred by the Pueblos peoples of the area who have long lobbied for his protection. Security Deb Haaland the first Native American to serve as Interior Secretary and a Pueblo herself signed the order in her native New Mexico.

The Department of Labor announced new work place safety regulations about the safe amount of silica dust mine workers can be exposed to. The dust is known to cause scaring in the lungs often called black lung. It's estimated that the new regulations will save over 1,000 lives a year. The United Mine Workers have long fought for these changes and applauded the Biden Administration's actions.

The Biden Administration announced its progress in closing the racial wealth gap in America. Under President Biden the level of Black Unemployment is the lowest its ever been since it started being tracked in the 1970s, and the gap between white and black unemployment is the smallest its ever been as well. Black wealth is up 60% over where it was in 2019. The share of black owned businesses doubled between 2019 and 2022. New black businesses are being created at the fastest rate in 30 years. The Administration in 2021 Interagency Task Force to combat unfair house appraisals. Black homeowners regularly have their homes undervalued compared to whites who own comparable property. Since the Taskforce started the likelihood of such a gap has dropped by 40% and even disappeared in some states. 2023 represented a record breaking $76.2 billion in federal contracts going to small business owned by members of minority communities. This was 12% of federal contracts and the President aims to make it 15% for 2025.

The EPA announced (just now as I write this) that it plans to add PFAS, known as forever chemicals, to the Superfund law. This would require manufacturers to pay to clean up two PFAS, perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid. This move to force manufacturers to cover the costs of PFAS clean up comes after last week's new rule on drinking water which will remove PFAS from the nation's drinking water.

Bonus:

President Biden met a Senior named Bob in Pennsylvania who is personally benefiting from The President's capping the price of insulin for Seniors at $35, and Biden let Bob know about a cap on prosecution drug payments for seniors that will cut Bob's drug bills by more than half.
