Me? I’m going to put bars on all my windows, double-lock the doors, load my guns, sharpen my pretty hunting knife, and do everything online. Or maybe I’ll just move across the Mexican border where I’ll be safer.
I never exaggerate.

Idonno. Go to work I guess.
I think he means unemployment INSURANCE.
Yes, but does he mean for himself, or for other people? It seems to be the latter.
That’s correct. I’m set. I do mean unemployment insurance. We all just call it “unemployment”, as in “my unemployment is about to end. I better spend my last dollar on a crowbar.”
No worries – I’m not eligible for unemployment insurance in the first place.
No, but you might want to worry about some desperado slikning over our once friendly border seeking sustenance for it’s starving family.
Still no worries – a Canadian Border Services Agency officer lives on the compound, and my office is beside a police headquarters.
I’m already across the Mexican border where it’s safe, but my empty house is still in Michigan where it’s not safe!
I meant just across the border. And I was rattling on about something I really know nothing about.
No, you were being funny, and I was trying to, too. My empty house needs someone with guns and knives to protect it, while I’m living it up down here.
But it won’t end for everyone all at the same time. In fact, for some people it has already ended. Why haven’t you barred your windows yet?!
I live on the ground floor of a condo unit; the rules & regs won’t allow me to put bars on my windows so I’m gonna renew my CCW and buy a pump 12 gauge and just maybe a belt-fed, fully automatic 10 gauge, if I can find one. I’m serious about the 12 gauge; I might even buy two of them.
lol!
I’d forgotten about this, but Tamex just reminded me.
I assume from your answer that you’re unemployed and have been receiving unemployment insurance payment. I don’t know anyone who is unemployed, so I’m wondering why you would remain jobless when all you have to do is go to work? I do know the checks are hardly enough to live on.
I do know of people around here who are unemployed, but they’re all looking for work.

Maybe he, uh, found a job? Thus ending his period of unemployment (and, subsequently, his unemployment insurance payments as well.) That’s how unemployment used to end before the Great Recession. I guess now we would eventually give up and call it “retirement”.
Nah. I asked what you’re going to do if unemployment payment ends.
He said “Idonno. Go to work I guess.” I think that means he’s drawing checks now, and if they stop, then he’ll have to go to work. I think he’s simply bullshitting though.
A lot of people assume that those on unemployment are sitting at home watching tv and eating Godiva chocolates. I’d be jealous if that were true.
I’d be eating Doritos and smoking dope. And watching soaps.
They are not enough to live on. If you have to pay for Cobra to keep up your health insurance, you will be broke in a hurry. It can take 3/4 of a check. It will not keep up with a mortgage. You slowly bleed to death financially. You will eat up savings, followed by cashing in the 401 . Then unemployment runs out . It is not pretty at all.
I know. The “get a job” people annoy the shit out of me.
What? why? They should just get a job. Head over to one of the countries we’ve sent the jobs too. I just don’t get it, why can’t poor people understand they need to go away to somewhere they can’t be seen.
