It’s in the bill, it’s just that the normal forms reject gig workers.
States are either
A. Go ahead and file, get denied, then we will figure it out on appeal
B. Don’t file yet. We will tell you when. Check back tomorrow. Rinse and Repeat n times

France has a town called “Death to the Jews”.
Sort of knew the news about John Prine was coming but still sad to hear it. He was still performing until pretty recently afaik.

Maybe I’m missing a joke here, but Lynch is a common Irish last name, that’s almost certainly where “Lynchburg” comes from.

Venting Here as the wife is stressed enough and has already gone to bed.
Today is already a shitty day. My middle son would have been 32 today. Lost him at 19 from A car crash. No work to distract from the anniversry.
Just can’t deal with all the incompetence and just plain evil from this president, scotus, the senate, and all the idiot governors effing up what should be a simple concerted effort for Covid nWatching people lined up to vote in Wisconsin. My son and his wife think they may be the only D voters in their rural town.
I’ve read several books on disease epidemiology, real heroes from the CDC. Now all apparently neutered by Trump and co. The world has looked to this country for decades. Now the cradle of democracy is on fire.
Now see rumor he is planning to can all IGs not appointed by him. Real dictator bullshit.
Just fills me with rage. All I can do not to tear this room apart. The dark places this takes my mind (let’s just say the guillotine is way too kind).
Sigh. an extra BP pill, both Benadryl and Melatonin and an episode of Barry will help me get to the point I can sleep. (enjoying the free HBO previews).
Thanks for listening.

I didn’t even know this was a risk, I thought the worry was that coronaviruses are fairly mutation-prone, so that you could have antibodies but they maybe wouldn’t work. Not great if this holds.
I finally found disinfecting wipes at the Neighborhood market by my place in Norman. Still haven’t seen a can of Lysol spray in weeks.
Oklahoma is saying mid-April for gig workers to apply for unemployment and for the extra federal unemployment to kick in. I’ll post if I see any progress from them.

Good to vent. Just reminded me that my older brother passed away when he was 24 around this date, from AIDS. I tend to block it out because it was so devastating for my parents and never got less so. I can not understand what it is like, but I can empathize. Spring is a pretty crappy time for me as pretty much all my family members who have passed all died within a couple of months of each other (on the calendar).
Anyways, it’s good to vent. Even in normal times stress and pressure can get the best of all of us. In these times the extra pressure and concern is massive and makes coping in general that much more difficult.
