Hi folks. I'm a long-time reader here at DK since about 2003 but haven't posted in a while. But I'm back to activism and I wanted to talk about an action plan for unemployment. Unemployment is about the stupidest fricking thing that exists. Social and physical needs are everywhere you look, and millions of people cannot get jobs. I have a plan for short-term, medium-term, and long-term solutions. We need to renew the federal unemployment benefits now, then we need to extend federal unemployment benefits automatically as long as there's more jobs than people, and then I think we need a job guarantee law. I know it sounds impossible but lots of things do until they happen.
