Now we’re learning that unmarried women are among those being crushed by the epidemic of joblessness. As the Center for American Progress has noted, “The high unemployment rate of unmarried women, and particularly the 1.3 million unemployed female heads of household who are primary breadwinners for their families, is devastating to their financial circumstances and standard of living.”
Not that I was ever sorry I remained single, but it absolutely stinks when you are the sole support and there is NOBODY to rely on when the economy goes into the shitter.
I can't take the time and I don't have the money to retrain for something else, and UI limits what I can do to "retrain" for other work. I'd like to get trained in photography and make some kind of living with it. I really have had it working for anybody else though and if I have the aptitude, try to wing it myself.
That's why I am trying to go the legal route against the school district and sue their ass. That dismissal really has screwed me over in every conceivable way.
But getting back to Bob Herbert's analysis: Yes, it was the elites who have taken the country down, and they did it while burying everybody else, but everybody else is bailing these people out.
It was all by design, by the way.
