Report Card For Tom Wolf From A Very Liberal Lehigh Valley PA Newspaper
- Thread starter PITTF2
- Start date
Answers could be provided. Are you on forced layoff? Based on your willingness to accept and make excuses Im guessing no.
I apologize to you then I didn't realize you were a sarcastic individualIt’s the go to excuse for stupid comments
At this point, I don't care if the computer system that handles UC claims in PA is severely outdated and from the 70's. Fortunately, I'm not filing a UC claim, at least for now. But the bottom line is that Comrade Wolf lied about it being ready and updated RIGHT NOW, and it isn't. He's a lying sack of donkey s%^t.
I'm sorry if you're on a forced layoff, it really is a shitty situation. I personally think that they should have focused more on protecting individuals than businesses with the bailouts, but that's just me. But if you're just looking to bitch and moan without listening to reason then try dressing up a hat-rack and pretending it's a compassionate person.
If that is your situation then maybe you should apply at one of the call centers. Two weeks ago they sent out requests for applicants starting at $17.73 to $26.45 per hour at full-time employment, which is 37.5 hours per week.
In the real world, it's much more difficult to just suddenly ramp up departments especially for temporary positions. It's not something that you can solve in a week or two.
You want to add 1-2 additional shifts just to answer questions, with hundreds of employees on top of the thousands that are already employed in the labor department?
Ok, who is going to supervise all these extra shifts?
Who is going to train these employees on state and federal unemployment benefit filing and restrictions? I know nothing about it, but I imagine it's more difficult than pointing people to the diaper aisle.
Where are these magical qualified employees during a time when people are scared to catch the disease?
Where are you going to put them all and comply with social distancing guideline?
If they are going to work from home, better also start interviewing IT professionals to set all of this up.
I can't imagine they could actually fill out any of the forms for people from their homes, given that a bunch of new employees would need access to sensitive personal information on their home devices. Do you buy them all company devices?
So your answer is I should take a massive pay cut ? Just open the economy back up! I'll take my chances
That argument is true for both sides, right?
Those that argued Trump should have had ventilators, masks, PPE, and tests ramped up in days also oversimplified the process.
True, but it's also true that he did an absolute shit job. I give him credit for the early travel restrictions to China, but everything after that has been poor at best. There are plenty of legitimate things he has done that deserve criticism, people don't need to invent stuff.
The horrible way he announced his European travel ban causing Americans to cram into airports trying to get back into the country immediately. (I posted about this as it was happening because my cousin and her friends were in Spain for Spring Break. Five girls all flying out of the same airport had to take different flights that went through different European airports, then all landed in New York. Guess how many of them had any sort of temperature test or anything upon their return to the US. The answer is 0.)
Testing wasn't really his fault in the beginning because the CDC generally develops its own tests. But this time there was a manufacturing defect that put the US weeks behind other major nations that adopted the WHO test and the entire time he claimed that anyone could get a test if they wanted. When the issues began, the US could have reached out to the WHO. That might have been easier had the Republicans in the Senate confirmed the US representative to the WHO Executive Council (a seat that has been vacant since 2017).
The horrible coordination of purchasing supplies leading to infighting between states and with the federal government. The federal government then seizing product intended for state and local governments.
That the FDA didn't relax restrictions on masks and other PPE until March 28th-April 2nd.
The constant stream of bullshit that comes out of his mouth.
You may be right.....I assumed someone from the Mon valley was a native since it so parochial ( I came from the city so I can say that with only humility). Kudos to him for moving there from NY.
