Changing the election date is a great idea! Please see below...

It's the first great idea from our so-called president! The best way to fool the Russians is to move the election date to this coming Tuesday! They won't be ready to interfere, they think they have months left to prepare!

An odd comment from a small business owner...

A sandwich shop "investor" (owner, I guess) in this article makes a strange comment when discussing the federal unemployment enhancement:

"If the government is paying more to stay home, why would those people be out there risking their lives"


What I would like to ask the shop owner is "why are you open if you acknowledge that you are forcing your employees to risk their lives?"

Stupid Florida is stupid...

So yesterday was the day I was supposed to log onto Florida's unemployment website and claim benefits for my most recent two weeks of unemployment. This has been working smoothly for me lately, though the website still had random glitches that kick you out.

Anyway, now the website has no link for me to claim weeks, and there is no information about why. Also, the DEO had not put out any information on their site, or given info to the news organizations.

Now, two days after the change took place, Florida finally lets us know that we have to resubmit applications due to the change in fiscal quarter. I mean, they knew this would be happening, and just left all of us out of the loop.

tldr: Florida has terrible communication with its citizens.
