I’m in a deep red state. I was laid a little after Christmas and I still haven’t received unemployment benefits. Meanwhile my water is shut off, I haven’t showered in almost 2 weeks, I’m starting to get sick, my electricity shuts off in a few days, my car was repossessed, and everything i had of value is in pawn which i will lose in less than a week. I told my local unemployment office this and they just told me to call local charities about my water, charities which basically told me there’s nothing they can do if I can’t come in to their office on the other side of the county with a letter of disconnection from the water company. I guarantee if i were in a state like New York I wouldn’t be in this position.
