Wow, yea, that blows me away. I guess now I can see where you have so much TIME to work on the car, at least. I had no idea you were unemployed.
I have to agree with Josh on this one. Where do you find money for modding a mustang in an unemployment check?? I have been laid off since April of this year and I moved back home temporarily to AVOID being a leech on the economy. I do not collect unemployment because I feel I don't need it. I do without instead. I know you do a lot of work yourself, and I've seen you machine some of your own parts, but regardless, this is a very expensive hobby to be paying for on someone else's dime.
You are a complete ****in (fill in the blank with something not nice in your head). They did a **** job and I was going to have the driveway paved in the future, if they were going to do it for $3k that I have sitting in the bank clearly I'd have it done. It would be $15k+ to do it which is why I jumped on it. So no I didn't pay for anything. I use my unemployment so I don't lose my damn house and truck. **** off.
First off, lets keep this tame. No bashing or the Master lock comes out.
Secondly, unemployment isn't all on the govt's dime. A lot of it is paid by private companies who pay into a pool with an unemployment insurance tax. Not saying the tax covers it 100% though. But your former employer pays basically insurance on you so if you get laid off, you have the safety net. The state runs the program...and taxes each business per individual.
Thirdly...i hear what some people collect on unemployment and it just boggles my mind how people live off that. Here in MA, we have the highest payout in the country...of $650/week MAX....and I would struggle to live off that. Elsewhere, i read about people living off $200/week for months on end with a mortgage and family to feed. No idea how they even do that.
