Here in Ohio, if you didn't make a certain amount of money per week when you had a job, you won't qualify for unemployment. Imagine being told that you're too poor for public assistance.

@@fiachuAnimation3537 "is turning to"?? For a very long time now, it seems to me that americans desperately want to live in some sort of monarchy. They behave as though they want a King, rather than a president. I mean, you guys have made it apparently impossible for a President to be "fired." In Australia, we haven't had a Prime Minister serve a full term of office since the year 2000. John Howard was the last PM to serve a full term and since then, every PM we've had has been "fired" in one way or another, with none managing to last the full four years (though Scott Morrison, the current PM, looks like he's going to go the distance). Every other developed nation is the same. If a head of state is deeply unpopular and thus unwanted (as head of state) it's relatively easy for him/ her to be replaced. But for some reason, this is almost impossible in the usa. It's as though you want a King, who's above the law and answerable to no one. Additionally, you guys really seem to like electing dynasties (Roosevelt, Kennedy, Bush, etc). So it really seems like you guys WANT to have a monarchy, or at least to be ruled by a monarch, provided that some of you have a say in determining who that monarch is. By which, I mean, it seems like there's a *significant* proportion of americans who would prefer that black people not be able to vote, that criminals should similarly be ineligible to vote and so forth... So it seems that you guys don't want EVERYONE to have a vote, but for those lucky few who are allowed to vote, it seems like they want to elect a King to rule. If the King's son (the son of a former president) runs for election, those same people seem to love electing him to be the next King... So, "Yeah," to an unbiased, outside observer such as myself, it really DOES seem like the usa is turning to feudalism and monarchy.

It really makes one creative with cooking though. Gotta conserve those nutrients and carbs, so you may be goddamn sure I'm cooking as fast as possible, with minimal effort, at the same time doing stuff to food, Gordon Ramsay would pass out after seeing... that at the same time actually taste like food and cost per month as much as my water bill. Good side, I'm finally losing weight. Bad side, I gonna run out of extra weight soon, and start getting rid of the weight I need. If someone told me to handle his 'meat', I'd probably excitedly go for my iron skillet that is lying unused for a year, before realizing what he meant. And even then, it'd probably go back to calculating how many meals I can get per handling.

I can confirm hunger makes you pass out. I have cut myself to one meal per day so my son can have three. I had no spare weight to lose prior to losing my job and suffer from an illness that causes chronic pain and inability to regulate my heart rate, blood pressure and temperature among other things. I passed out and required an ambulance twice in two years at my last job, so you can guess who the first one cut was when it was time for my employer to conserve money. It is a real treat to apply for jobs as required by unemployment, get a rare response, and have to see the look of disappointment hit the face of the interviewer when I have to use a walker just to get to the chair.

@@hedgehog3180 I don't know, I've been hungry and poor this year - I don't live in the US and did receive social security - just enough to get by. It was no treat, it made me feel very crappy, 1 for taking money from the government - other people. 2 because I was still hungry and ate mostly potatoes, butter and milk, with some knock-off fruits and vegetables, or big quantities of frozen pees. It did motivate me. But there's a difference between letting someone starve because you simply don't care, or helping someone out, just to get by. I made use of the social security for 4 months. In that time I found a new job. If I would've gotten more money, the incentive to find work would've been less (though my morals are pretty high and I wouldn't want to be that opportunistic, feeding off of other peoples' tax: I know people who would). I've had a few crummy jobs that paid very little and required much physical labour, calling me in on a weekly basis (DHL): I still wasn't that happy. I started working in healthcare now, I've always worked in production where you are just a number... Making cookies, medical supplies, freaking garage doors/docks/levelers for trucks (operating a machine in most cases). Done this work now for three months, I make less than I did before I got layed off. But I'm a lot more happy. I get to take care of people and help them out, all day. It's not a great job - it requires a lot of attention to feces and the like, but it is very rewarding in a non-financial way. My presence is very important to others. I don't need money when I matter to others. Laura should have a little talk with some ancient carpenter. On a similar note: I don't think Laura is very happy...

You know he'll spend it on beer!" My instinctive reply was "God will not ask me about how he spent his money, but he'll ask me how I spent mine." Many folks are more worried about helping the wrong person than not helping right person, which is tragic.

i'm from a socialist country and got essentially free money for 2 years. i was being a loser for 2 years, only playing games, eating pizza and not dating at all, becoming a fat slob, lived unhygienically and so on, because i knew i didnt have to impress anybody, i didnt have to perform and i wouldnt have to starve if i lived like that. after two years the money stopped because even socialist governments know when enough is enough so after another few months of lazing around, borrowing money, asking for food and so on i finally got my shit together, got myself a job and am supporting myself and my fiancée that i found soon after eversince. you know what's the worst part in my cv? not that i lost my job, because my boss gave me excellent references. it's that i didnt do shit in my life for 2 years and didnt have a single recent flattering photo of myself. it was considerably harder to go to job interviews like that, instead of right after losing my job, still fit, still full of drive, not fat, still well fitting clothes and all that. government benefits and my shitty attitude stole 2 years of my life. luckily my parents didnt support this. ps: 2-5 applications a week is a lot for john oliver? he has no clue because he probably never had this issue. my city asked for TWELVE a week, which i did, but shittily because i knew i'd get money anyway. you know what i changed after those 2 years when i ACTUALLY wanted to get a job? i wrote 12 applications a DAY and i wrote decent ones, which as said, eventually landed me a job.

In Australia, when you are on unemployment they give out a lot of menial tasks. One time I was told I needed to apply for 20 jobs a week, and guess what happened? I ran out of jobs that I was qualified for, so I just applied to everything. Saturating the market in a way that made it infuriating for employers to actually find people qualified. One time they put me to work for $4 an hour for someone who would sexually assult me almost everyday, and when I complained about it they said I would need to try harder than that to get out of this, and if I did anything out of line they would stop my payments. This went on for 6 months. They told me that I need to get my license and I told them that I couldn't do that. I was shouted at in an office of people who didn't even flinch, talking about how lazy I am, how I will never get anywhere in life, I was told that I would probably die in the streets. I then explained to the unemployment agent that I cant see out of one eye and I only have half of my vision in my other eye and that I legally can't drive.they didn't like that answer. That was when my payments were stopped. I lived off of my mum and sister while I tried to find a job. I now have an amazing job that I love, but I am forever trumatized by what happened while I was in the unemployment system.
