What the FUCK?

apologies in advance if you are offended by foul and or discriminatory language

never mind, no apoligies, if you dont like it you have to options, click your back button or go fuck yourself.

so, somewhere back in the blog you can read about what happened last time I applied for food benefits while being laid off.  amongst other bitching and whining, pissing and moaning.  I do it here because it helps me chuck the bad stuff in this giant gaping hole of misery that i always seem to fall into.  gets it out of my system so i can put on a socially acceptable mask whilst out in public.

back to the bending over
Michigan calls it a bridge card
back in the day they were called food stamps
i think of them as humiliating
takes some swallowing of the pride to even apply, then you have to go shopping.  at least now it looks like a debit card instead of the printed faux bills I was raised on.

last time I got $20 per month
this time I get denied

we applied the week I got laid off.  sept 5th.  then we get a letter needing copies of some paperwork, layoff slip, vehicle titles, bank statements (yeah, you don't get a lot of privacy when asking for help) we turn that all in on oct 5th, which was 3 days after we got the letter.  this is because misty works part time and has friday off, since she is the primary on the form she has to turn them in.  so that's all turned in and the following week we get a letter saying we need to turn in the paperwork we turned in or get denied.  so we called, and called and called,  our caseworker was never available so we left messages and were assured we would get a call the next day.  that was a week ago, and today we get the rejection.  seriously this state is so fucking shitty.

shitty ass shithole motherfucking twatwaffle egg sucking WHORES!!!!!

flat out denied

hear all sorts of bullshit about the assistance programs to help out the unemployed, what a crock of shit.

i go from making just over 60,000 per year to making less than 18,000.  quite a bit less because i can draw 362 for 20 weeks then I have to file for an extension and dray again for a max of 40 weeks.  that makes it a total of less that 15 grand

family of 4 on 15 grand a year.

I bought a modest 1200 sq foot ranch in a po-dunk town
I drive a station wagon with 300k miles that looks like it has been through a demo derby
I have one credit card and my balance is about $700

then the normal bills, nothing extravagant.
I throw this out there because I feel I live within normal means, far less than most people do that make 60k a year.
after the first layoff i took a job in a shithole sweatshop that i was miserable at.  pay was crap but better than unemployment, all it did was cause us to slowly chip away at our reserves, we weren't getting ahead but we were by no means able to save a dime.

all I am asking for is a little help.  for fucks sake, I am a nice guy, do all sorts of good deeds, help others even when I am not asked, and i try to avoid credit. it seems like i am always getting shit on.  What the fuck?  people always say karma is a bitch in reference to people wronging others.  let me tell you that indian philosophy isn't helping out folks trying to make the world a better place.  granted i do the right thing because it's exactly that, the right thing, it would just be nice not to get fucked in the ass every time i bend over to pick up a penny.

and another thing while my rage and profanity flows forth like a blue niagara falls.
if i get a part time job and make $100 a week my unemployment gets cut $50.  if I make $200 my unemployment gets cut $100.  basically your wages at a secondary part time job are half of what you make.  if you dont report it they will come after you.  if you work a part time job and get more than 30 hours per week they cut you all together.   most other states have a set cap before penalizing you.  you can make up to half of your benefit and then they reduction starts.  you want to know why this state is so fucked and going through an exodus of talent, read above^
