I got laid off, right?
So I registered for school full-time++ (21 credit hours).
Because of this I may be denied unemployment benefits.
I know people who did nothing for six months while receiving benefits (who, coincidentally, were fired for misconduct - which means they should have automatically been ineligible for UI benefits. They were asked absolutely no questions. I know because I lived with 'em.)
If I don't receive benefits I will not pay a dime in Federal Tax that hasn't already been paid. Nor will I pay next year - nor the year after. If I don't get these benefits I'll lose everything. If the government lets that happen (Federal or State) they can go fuck themselves.
"But UI benefits are a state issue, Parad0x." Yes, but my state doesn't have a state income tax - so Fed is the only way to go. Plus, the fed provides funding for UI so either way...
Man, I'm so pissed. I lose a great job and try to better myself (on my OWN dime - the semester started 4 days before my layoff, so the state won't pay for any of this semester) and I get fucked.
Brilliant.

Ridiculous, eh?
What's funny is that this actually started out as a "delay" in processing. The nice lady on the phone said my first claim date had been moved back two weeks.
I said: "You know, that's going to make it really hard to survive."
She said: "I understand sir."
[Dead silence]
Ridiculous, man. Ridiculous.
way for our government to encourage higher education, eh?
You should join the seminary, yes you should
