are you on welfare?

[lxskllr]

I've never even taken unemployment. It just doesn't feel right.

That's foolish. That would be the same as not using your homeowner policy because "it doesn't feel right". Insurance is meant to be used. You pay more for products, and get less money in your paycheck due to the insurance, so you should use it if you're eligible.

I think I should be. I don't make $250K/yr and I'm not driving a Ferrari.

 

[brianmanahan]

Not government.
Been living with mom for the last 3 years. Going back to school on the GI Bill, in fact I start classes on monday.

then you are a idiot. you are paying into it why not use it when needed? Unemployment is not welfare (though again if needed take advantage of it).

I'm not on it. the one time i thought i could qualify (out of work for 5 months due to lay off) i couldn't get it. they said my cars were worth to much,. WTF they were used! i don't buy new bah.

its a joke. i swear the people i see on it game the fuck out of the system. My ex-wifes sister is on it and her boyfriend makes like $2k under the table. blah

Welfare is for pussies. I live the life of a free man.

Out of the streets with my tin cup and randomly judo chopping people....

Hope you are kidding Shorty, but of course if you need a job anandtech, will get you one.

Otherwise I guess you are going to school to advance yourself. You can still have a job and go to school.

No, insurance, whether Government mandated, or Government mandated, should make one embarressed.

They are spending my kids into oblivion, so that they can pay for my root canal.

The answer is to leave people alone, and allow them to make the money they desire.

Get the fuck out of the way Government, with your minimum fucking wage.

Get the fuck out of the way with requiring that I own insurance.

If you want to go commiserate with people... go commiserate.

 

[crownjules]

Nope. Just got unemployment for a couple months.

 

[Zorkorist]

I've paid so much in taxes it is grotesque.

Yea I agree with the sentiment but just wish the system didn't work like this. I'll be the first one in line if I have to, but I'd rather not be there at all.

I recognize all these words, but that sentence makes no sense.

 

[Zorkorist]

Fuckers are telling me I need to buy car insurance, before I can legally drive a car.

Wait till they tell me I have to buy House i9nsurance, before I buy a house.

You don't have to be the pissant, that cries to Government, or Insurance companies, or Lawyers...

If You STOP voting for MORE Government, MORE Insurance, and MORE Lawyers.
