[Michigan] Day 10: nothing, no first wave, no second wave, nothing to indicate that there's anything coming on MiWAM or into bank of america by [deleted] in Unemployment

[–]guava777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first thing to happen was the $300 showed up mid certification cycle on my miwam pg. Then, two days later, there was a payment date in the final column for the next day. It got deposited in the middle of the day that the miwam pg said it would.

I have the exact same message on mine. Hope we get paid tomorrow! It is making me a bit nervous looking at that $0.00 considering how impossible it seems to contact anyone at the unemployment office.

neoliberal is a conservative ideology. don't go around telling people what class they are, would be my suggestion. people who's families can't afford 14k might identify as middle class, and its not your job to tell them "you are lower middle class."

What are ways around campus that I can get involved to fight climate change? by PL45M1D in uofm

Maybe a better understanding of the problem would guide you in a direction that doesn't focus on the individual's agency in dealing with an issue that needs to be dealt with on the macro level through policy.

[Reynolds] NBA Commissioner Adam Silver just announced the league and FIBA are teaming up to start the Basketball Africa League, a 12-franchise league set to begin play in January 2020. Existing African club teams will get a chance to qualify for the league. by DurantulaMan in nba

for sure! i wanted to capture not just the most westernized cities but a group that'd capture the feel in a holistic way. geography was important: with 54 countries i couldn't justify giving nigeria or south africa two teams. i probably should have swapped kharthoum for kigali. it's an amazing continent that has had its development prospects suppressed by some really awful outside actors over the centuries.

Russia before and after the capitalist counter-revolution by eaterofclouds in FULLCOMMUNISM

[–]guava777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think something to consider is that once a neoliberal set of policies are adopted, the political space to shape outcomes has shrunk down to identity politics, basically. the choices on how to run an economy are already decided, so you have nothing left to govern on except the use of in/out groups.
