Related: About this forumNC becomes 1st state to drop federal jobless funds
NC becomes 1st state to drop federal jobless fundsback on election day, someone on DU posted a happy thread about who the losers were. answers, mitt romney, whoever Elizabeth warren beat, etc. i responded with "the people of NC."
i knew then it was going to be bad, but i have to say i did not even know it would be this bad this fast. they are seriously going to destroy the beautiful state of north carolina. when my job wraps up here i'm going back home. it hurts to see what is happening in this state and feeling quite helpless. they are absolutely relentless and holding all the cards.

(22,666 posts)1. I've already told my family "if anything happens with my job, I'm moving out"
Because there is essentially NO unemployment insurance in NC now. Anyone who loses or has lost a job may as well just forget it. There's nothing for them. NO support at all.
THE MINUTE anything happens with mine, the house goes on the market, I get rid of or store a bunch of stuff and I'm out of here. All my folks are in California and that's where I'll go. There's just no alternative!
