Ivanka's Tone-Deaf Advice to Millions of Unemployed Americans: Find Something New

The US unemployment rate, currently at 11.1 percent, is higher than at any point during the Great Recession—a grim stat that in the face of ballooning coronavirus cases and, in some states, a return to lockdown measures, is unlikely to see substantial improvement in the months ahead. To make matters worse, the $600 federal unemployment insurance weekly subsidy is set to expire at the end of the month, thanks to Republicans, even as experts credit the benefit as a crucial lifeline preventing countless families from descending into poverty.

In the midst of this economic crisis facing millions of Americans, enter Ivanka Trump with advice for the unemployed: Embrace the chaos, she urges, and “Find Something New.” The initiative comes as her most recent diamond-encrusted middle finger to American families since the pandemic hit.

Unbelievably vapid. This is what reality tv and a culture of endless self-promotion has thrust upon us. A lot of vapid dip shits who have absolutely nothing of substance to contribute to humanity. My head actually hurts when hearing the garbage that falls out of the mouths of people like Ivanka and the Kardashians.

Really, just sit on his lap and flirt with him a little, it’s easy.
