Stupid Florida is stupid...

[ExciteBike66]

So yesterday was the day I was supposed to log onto Florida's unemployment website and claim benefits for my most recent two weeks of unemployment. This has been working smoothly for me lately, though the website still had random glitches that kick you out.

Anyway, now the website has no link for me to claim weeks, and there is no information about why. Also, the DEO had not put out any information on their site, or given info to the news organizations.

Now, two days after the change took place, Florida finally lets us know that we have to resubmit applications due to the change in fiscal quarter. I mean, they knew this would be happening, and just left all of us out of the loop.

tldr: Florida has terrible communication with its citizens.

And bragged about with his fellow rethugs.

8. Yup -- this needs to be part of the campaign against whomever runs against Scott

Next time.

I prefer Gwen Graham as Gov, but could live with her as Senator and Nikki Freed running for Gov.

4. The DEO website is shit for employers too.

I got a letter to respond to an unemployment claim dated 05/26/2020 with a deadline for response of 06/16/2020. I received the letter on 06/30/2020. I logged in to the employer portal and half of the information they usually supply me with was missing. It's a 360 degree shit show.

7. They fired everyone who knew what they were doing.

The few that remain use "Managing Websites for Dummies" to get them through the day.
