Florida has overtaken California as the US jobless claims capital

It's glaringly obvious what Florida is doing.

In fact, Florida says that they can't waive the requirement to keep applying to jobs to continue getting unemployment, and despite their fucking website not even working and being unable to handle the flood of unemployment applications, they are denying people for not applying to enough jobs...

And if the state denies you unemployment, you don't get the federal unemployment either.

And do you know what Desantis did when asked about this? He said his hands are tied and moved on to the next subject...

In the middle of a fucking pandemic, he claimed with a straight face that there's absolutely nothing he can do and those people are in some cases literally being left for dead. All of this because of a small oversight in the wording of the bill. A small oversight that other states have already worked around because it's a life and death situation for many.

Everyone knows goddamn well that if there were a minor legal "trap" like that which impacted something Desantis actually gave any fucks about, he would have a team of lawyers on it and would be doing everything in his power to work around it, but when it's a legal "trap" that clearly wasn't intended causing literally millions of people to not have any income, he's all out of ideas on how to fix it...
