In the past there have been times between jobs i was eligiible. And never filed. Probably because of some demented sense of values I got from my parents.
See, when the old man was out of work, and still had 7 of 10 kids at home to feed.....he never ran down to the food stamp office to ask somebody else to feed his family.
But ive overcome that childhood damage, and realized im going to be called a selfish boomer no matter what i do.....so may as well be like everybody else. 😆

So, in the name of common decency I should forgo SS also? I mean I don't really need it.
Should the furloughee with a doctor/lawyer wife be able to get unemployment.....common decency and all? What if the spouse works at Home Depot? Ok or not Ok?

So should we assume then, that you intend to waste the time of employers who actually need help as you apply for jobs you have no intention of taking to satisfy the requirement to seek employment. And that you will likely pass on jobs paying three or four times the unemployment payments so you can collect your due.

And on and on and on. But somehow unemployment between jobs is a moral outrage. Hilarious.

I won’t need SS. Can I look myself in the mirror if I take it. Gucci tells me I haven’t paid in, therefor it’s not mine.
I won’t need PBGC money either. Can I look myself in the mirror if I take it?
All this virtue signaling starts to be a slippery slope dontcha think?
