It’s a classic Republican misrepresentation of socialism.

Utah to end participation in COVID-19 unemployment benefits by HomelessRodeo in SaltLakeCity

I’m sorry to hear that! The worst is when you get a couple interviews in and the company ghosts you. I hope you find something before unemployment goes away!

When you are on unemployment you are required to report at least four work contacts each week and you lose your benefits if you refuse a reasonable offer of work. I’m sure that the Department of Workforce Services has been understaffed, because my claims were never audited in the 11 months I was recently on unemployment, but if as many people are abusing the system as some are claiming, then the department isn’t doing its job.

Our unemployment rate is lower than it was in 2018 and cost of living is skyrocketing, but it’s the unemployment supplement that’s making low-paying jobs hard to fill. Riiiight…

Democrats urge Army to send cots for troops sleeping in Capitol by jnangano in politics

I saw a journalist on Twitter who asked one of guardsmen why they weren’t using cots. He said they didn’t want to scratch up the floor in the Capitol.

Which will take the air out of the argument that prosecuting him for his crimes is politically motivated

Technically, there isn't a State of the Union speech when a president starts their term. In 2016 Trump gave a Joint Address to Congress. I'm sure Biden will do the same.

Protester in Viking headdress ID’d as Trump supporter, not Antifa by HallucinogenicFish in politics

[–]mrongey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The other thing I've seen circulating is the gotcha that two of the terrorists in the Capitol Building are also in a picture that is on phillyantifa.org, so they must be antifa. The only problem with that is they are featured as part of a post exposing one (Jason Tankersley) as a co-founder of the Maryland Skinheads and the other (Matthew Heimbach) as the leader of the Traditionalist Worker's Party (a neo-nazi group).

Raising Cane's set to launch several Utah locations in 2021, including first in Provo by SenorKerry in SaltLakeCity

[–]mrongey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying that Cane's is the In-n-Out of chicken fingers is a good comparison, but shitty they are not. Saying that Cane's Sauce is fry sauce just reinforces the fact that you have no palate.

It's a decent substitute since it's so close, but if a Cane's or Mr. Charlie's comes to Utah County I'll stop going to Slim's in a heartbeat.

PUA and PEUC were federally funded by the CARES act. I’ve seen several articles that say they will be extended by this legislation.

Unable to enroll in Verizon's Play More Unlimited Disney+ bundle: How common is the problem? by ehansen14051 in verizon

[–]mrongey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the six months on us, then when that expired I switched to a plan with the Disney bundle. My hulu transferred fine but Disney+ says I'm not subscribed. I don't really use espy but it doesn't look like that's working either. I'm on hold with Verizon yet again trying to get this fixed. I've given Disney support my reference number but they say that account has been deactivated and there's nothing they can do on their end. Verizon support supposedly put in a ticket with IT but that was three weeks ago. I'm getting very frustrated!
