I've been working on my consciousness the past 2 years and I have no doubt that we all have hundreds or thousands of PTSD incidents stuck inside us, but most of them are at a much lower level than a soldier or a sexual assault survivor. Trauma can be being rejected by a girl, being made fun of, even watching a scary movie. On a scale of 1 to 100 having your leg blown off in war might be a 100/100 whereas being rejected by a girl might be a 4/100 but these incidents all add up over time and shape the way we behave. I'm sure anti mask people probably in their history had some serious issues with people exerting control over them in a manner that was damaging to their psyche. It is possible to address and release trauma though, even the little stuff which is what I've been doing lately.

I wonder what is happening to private insurance companies these days, and what will happen in the coming months. There have been almost 300k covid hospitalizations and a lot more to come. Plus all this new info that people who have caught the plague might need expensive treatment indefinitely. My guess is the federal government goes ahead and socializes the losses (for companies, not individuals of course) with no changes to our underlying system.

The Fuzzy Hulk posted:You know that was $25 a week right? During the recession nearly everyone with a valid claim got an extra 25 a week and an extension of 13 more weeks to collect after their claim was exhausted. (UI claims are open for a year but don’t have 52 weeks of payments) It was called the EUC (some states also triggered into EB which was a few more weeks depending on the unemployment rate) There are 3 different things happened in UI now. The extra 600 called FPUC, the extension that lets people keep collecting their normal weekly without the 600 until the end of this year called PEUC, and the PUA which for self employed people and gig workers that wouldn’t have a valid claim because they don’t have UI earnings to use to calculate a benefit amount. The article I quoted from cnn had him say "the great depression" they fixed it but didn't actually mention any edits, i just copy-pasted from the original version of this pre-fix..tbf though this was the first time i've seen it referred to as the "great recession", must have missed that moniker..we just called it the recession between looking for jobs in 2008  https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/coronavirus-pandemic-07-27-20-intl/h_35986c3b2c605567421b64bc7850b01a e: they also extended UI/PUA to 59 weeks but I'm not sure if thats a state by state thing zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Jul 28, 2020 |

Hell yeah! First day back to school is going great. We have a corporation "road map" for covid procedures that includes that to be considered having contact and being sent home for covid, you have to be within 6 feet of the infected person for 15 minutes with no mask. loving lol. However, there's no real guidance on sanitizing desks between classes and a few other things they neglected to compile any direction on so we came up with that during our hour long staff meeting this morning. Sounds great. About 2/3 of the students are coming back on Thursday. Those whose parents haven't been fingerblasting their keyboards all summer and screaming messages on the school and town Facebook groups about "scoolz must watch are babbies its are rites as americns" are keeping their kids at home and I sincerely thank them for being reasonable. Also, there's no soap in the restrooms currently.

Their salary is just a drop in the bucket compared to special favors and shady money flowing through Washington. Most politicians leave office wealthy beyond what most of us would ever dream of.

Something about having a rep that makes 3 times what the average american household makes rubs me the wrong way completely.

Well, I'm not going to debate whether it's good or not (it's not), but the thought of paying congress that much was that they would be normal people ( ) that weren't rich ( ) that would need to be paid an amount that would allow them to live in one of the most expensive cities in the US (Washington DC) while also maintaining their residence in whatever Also, just because they have recesses in Washington, doesn't mean that they're not working. My congresswoman regularly holds multiple days of long town halls when she's here. They have office hours, etc. I'm 100% positive some are better than others and that a ton of them slack off and don't do meaningful work, but to look at the legislative schedule and say "those are the only days they work" is silly. Also, they have to campaign for whatever next step they want to take and take money from lobbyists - you can't do that on the clock
