I know we are in a pandemic. I have a family member who can't get approval for unemployment after he was laid off from his part-time restaurant job. He keeps getting denied and all the politicians do is fight back and forth.
Not knowing how many turns I took while talking

The job center's can only help so much. And if they don't have internet skills,then online jobs will help.

Reflection of feelings
So this family member gave up their apartment, moved back in with family, still fighting unemployment and going to food banks. It's crazy They are doing what they can but when we talk about it, it's hard to believe in these modern times we are in such a mess
