Hi everyone! I'm writing on behalf of a new group called Unemployed Action. We're a project of the Center for Popular Democracy, and we're campaigning to protect the $600 unemployment benefit that so many people are relying on. With only 3 weeks left until the benefit expires, we have a lot of...

It looks like they’re finally starting to catch up! I wasn’t one of the people calling and emailing constantly because I knew that there were others who needed it more than I did, so this is 8 weeks of just plain old waiting game. Good luck everybody!!

But I would possibly argue that things are actually worse now. Just look at this article from the LA times. It seems that they STILL never even started to upgrade their ancient computer system for handling our claims. Where the hell do our tax dollars end up going if they’re not doing their...

Hi all I frequently come across both posts and comments that lament, express concern over or suggest investment decisions based on the supposed common knowledge that the rand has lost massive value and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. This is fortunately closer to myth than...
