@matrix i have a distinct memory of playing it on an ipod at a funeral wake and accidentaly turning the ringer on and it playing loudly and that memory is stuck with me for some reason

@LukeAlmighty @graf “I believe this might be because of unemployment benefits.”

The problem for someone like your friend is that the most basic thing about US unemployment benefits is that if you’re offered a job comparable to your old one, you’ve got to take it.

In theory, of course, and you’ve got to document your efforts, like sending out resumes, implicitly “asking for interviews” as you posit. But I think insincere behavior like ghosting the company at any point would be just as problematic. In theory, again, our individual states’ unemployment systems have to be totally overloaded right now, even if they’re pretty automatically accepting “lost job because of COVID” claims.

Maybe they’ve computerized to the point where you’ve got to “check some boxes” every week or so, but I doubt for very many people there’s real human beings paying attention, doing followups with companies etc.

I used whether or not you read Freakonomics and really liked it to filter out a lot of people

You will never be fully vaccinated. You will never be on the correct formulation, you will never have the correct dose, you will never be on the correct manufacturer. You may have gotten a booster shot but all of that can change on a political whim and now you are a plague rat and crude mockery of nature’s perfection.

All the “validation” you get for your Fauci Ouchie on social media is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you and take bets on how soon you’re going to die. Your employer has taken a million-dollar life insurance policy out on you and implores you to get one more booster. And even when you do, you will still never be fully vaccinated.

Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your sickly appearance, your clammy pale greasy skin, and your coal black glassy meth addict looking vaccine eyes behind closed doors.

Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved at the six-figure settlement they’re offered in return for telling everyone you died of natural causes or covid-19. And that it was your fault because you were not fully vaccinated. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your false cause of death, and even though you took the vaccine, and you took the booster shots, every passer-by for the rest of eternity will know that it was your fault for not being vaccinated. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably unvaccinated.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
