    Have you ever been employed? If so, why were you let go? Or why did you quit your job?

    employment is at the will of either party.

    yes; employment is at the will of either party, not just the employer for unemployment compensation Because, that is not equal protection of the law.

    What point are you trying to make?

    Are you even making a point, or is repeating that over and over ad nauseum some sort of nervous tic?

    We're not sure who's driving the Daniel train, but it frequently gets stuck on a disused narrow gauge track.

    I think his train of thought spends most of its time boarding at the station.

    Not my point. 97% of the "will's" of parties are employed. You are in the elite 3%. :roflol:

    So somebody not working (which based on the "naturally" in your post makes you a victim) is justifying why the rest of us owe you something?

    What is wrong with that arrangement? You feel somebody should be forced to employing somebody else?

    So you think you should be able to elect not to work, and everybody else should fund your benefits?

    What are you even talking about?

    What he is opposing is the idea that to qualify for unemployment, you have to be let go by your employer. His argument that in an "at will" state, he should be able to quit or elect not to work and still get unemployment.

    OMD (great 80's band, incidentally) may not be proximate to a Zippy. And I doubt it originates on the Subcontinent ... too Commie. They like enterprise in India.

    So back in HS if we spent all our lunch money on dank weed ... we went to the closest big box grocer and ate off the shelf, and produce displays. I 'd even have 'em slice me some fresh deli, and make a sandwich in the bread aisle. ::):

    In Tokyo in the 80's, the only way working class Western backpackers could afford to stay longer than a few days was to go around the bakeries and ask for loaf ends. Back then, ends were thrown out because the Japanese didn't eat them. You basically lived on bread and ramen, with a bit of fruit & veg discarded by supermarkets. Once or twice a week you'd buy a big bowl of meaty soup from a street vendor to make up your protein deficit.

    Not that has anything to do with college starvation :)

    Oh ... I still do it. Weekly while grocery shopping. Not because I spent all my money on weed tho. I sample anything I want from the bulk bins, and I'll get a single pastry from the bakery too. I just don't tear open pkgs anymore. It's beneath my stature & dignity! :roflol:

    Yeah ... California grocers were putting "day old" bakery and produce on bakers carts behind the stores rather than tossing it in the dumpster when I lived there. But really, I only got asked to leave maybe twice out of literally 600? times I dined & dashed. I smoked a lot of dank weed in HS. ::):

    The Tokyo bakers happily handed it over. Saved on dumpage costs, I guess. Speaking of which, when I was a teenager we were still able to get day old bread for free (bakers would bag it up in old flour bags) for our horses/rabbits, etc. I seem to recall they started selling it about 30 years ago .. discounted, but still. A baker near me gives a measly 50% discount for THREE DAY OLD bread.
