I keep getting messages from people saying it's great that Biden picked someone half-Asian.??? They

say CNN has described Harris like that several times in the last 20 minutes?
HUH?
I thought she had Black and Indian roots via Jamaica.
Am I wrong?
Doesn't matter to me really, just wondering.
BIDEN/HARRIS 2020 and Beyond!

Can any self employed folks help with EDD question?

I filed for UI based on my NET, per my accountant, and my payments are pitiful because due to Covid I couldn't do my 2019 taxes til July, so I had to use my 2018 net, (I filed late March when I had to close my business) and in 2018 I had 2 major surgeries and lost lots of working time because I had to stay home and recover from each of them.
Lost a TON of income. I've done 2019 taxes now.

1. So how do I get them to now base my UI on 2019? Is there a place online I can put in new numbers? I can't find it.

2. Most importantly, they say that if I work, I have to put in the amount I made *when I get paid*, and they subtract that from my UI payment. But the amount I get paid would be GROSS income. I have no idea what my net would be until the end of the year...so if they subtract gross from my tiny payment I am screwed...anyone know how to proceed with this?
Thanks for any help!

Looking for something FUN to do while quarantined? I'm a lifelong scale model builder, and it has

saved my sanity since being shut in the house for over 4 months.
But it takes a long time to acquire all the tools you need, the skillsets, and the kits to build. I get all that. (I have a kit stash that would take me 10 years to build them all!).
GOOD NEWS. Now you can build models digitally, and photograph your finished model.
This could be a great way to pass some time, and also great for kids, they can learn lots of skills, such as "following instructions", something that us experienced modelers have long forgotten how to do!

If Lincoln Project REALLY wants to bring down trump, why don't they run someone against him???

Siphoning off votes, especially swing states, would be FAR more effective than some videos.
They don't even need to get on every state's ballots, just the important ones.
And this goes for ALL so-called "never trumpers".

Convince me I'm wrong.

Maybe I've missed them but, WHERE ARE THE BIDEN ADS TODAY? They should be all over the rallyfail,

are they taking the day off?
OK, I'm in L.A., woke up late so maybe I didn't see them, but I've searched several pages of threads on DU and see an instant ad by The Lincoln Project, but nothing from Biden Campaign.

Don't they know this is a WAR this time, it's not 2 older gents under a spreading chestnut tree trading genteel barbs. The enemy has handed us an armory full of ammunition and it doesn't look like we want to shoot.

THEY SHOULD ALREADY HAVE MULTIPLE ADS GOING, seriously, come on guys, don't be "sleepy" because then you play right into the Rethuglican hands!!!!

GO JOE!

How much rope will it take to pull down Stone Mountain? Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and Jefferson Davis.

Substantial funding for the project came from the KKK, which met on the mountain's top to burn crosses and the project's first directors and promoters were Klan members.

Being Scottish and Southern, I've been there for Highland Games.

PLEASE Joe Biden, make my concept into a video! Stand in front of the Baby Gate around the

White House, and, with flash cuts interspersed of Reagan at the Berlin Wall, say:
Mr. Trump, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity : Come here to this gate! Mr. Trump, open this gate! Mr. Trump, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL"
