Glenn Beck and the 99ers
Aug. 18th, 2010 08:14 amI agree with karoli: Even though there's a transcript just below, you really have to watch this to get the sense of how Beck is saying what he's saying.
What we have is a rich guy berating people for not being able to get a job in an environment, a country, where so many jobs have been outsourced or eliminated or consolidated, that there are five applicants for every job remaining.
A rich guy berating people for thinking that, after having paid into the unemployment system for years, maybe they should get back more than a few months.
Goodness knows I felt that way. Kickin' into unemployment for 30 years, and when I was laid off in 2004 I got six months? WTF?
Anyway. If you can't find a job in this shitty economy, and you'd like help from the government so you don't get kicked out of your house and starve on the street, Glenn Beck thinks you're a Wobbly, and therefore evil communist/socialist/democrat/somethin'.
If you have any unemployed friends or family who happen to follow Mr. Beck, it likely can't hurt to inform them of that little tidbit.

solarbird, huskiebear, and a couple of others, and buffed the website a little. Not every feature I want yet by a long shot, but I'm actually kinda close. Thoughts on how this looks now? Please remember not everything is in place yet. Thanks.
