SOCIAL MEDIA = OPEN HEART SURGERY

SOCIAL MEDIA = OPEN HEART SURGERY

With little to no faith in our leaders in government – the amount of misinformation is circulating across the internet at an ALL TIME HIGH. 

In an article from Buzzfeed titled: The Social Media Shame Machine Is In Overdrive Right Now by Anne Helen Petersen. 

As more and more YouTube videos disinfecting groceries are starting to feel more like Open Heart Surgery – users across the globe are looking for new information on COVID-19. 

I don’t know about YOU but I’m exhausted to hear new information every day about the coronavirus and how it works – why the economy is crashing – AND – how our government is failing to get help to those who need it most. 

There’s STILL so much that we don’t know! 

For example – what is the actual number of first-known cases of COVID-19 infections? When will the wide-scale practice of social distancing end and how can users keep updated on the progress of a potential vaccine? 

Honestly – it feels like we’re fighting two pandemics: COVID-19 and Foolishness. 

Well friends! In the year 2033, we shall witness the rise of QuaranTEEN! 

EDD OPEN YOUR OFFICES and ANSWER THE PHONE!

EDD OPEN YOUR OFFICES and ANSWER THE PHONE!

The Employment Development Department (EDD) provides a variety of services to businesses, workers, and job seekers.

HEY U.S. GOVERNMENT!

If we are in a National Emergency, why is the Employment Development Department (EDD) CLOSING offices?!

In an article from Buzzfeed titled: “What The Hell Are Bar And Restaurant Workers Supposed To Do For The Next Few Months?” by Amber Jamieson.  

Jamieson interviews Millennials who are now suddenly without income after living paycheck to paycheck in the food serving industry and there is a consensus.

"I'm not worried about this virus; I'm worried about all these other things.” 

And all these other things are the long laundry list of basic survival, RENT, FOOD, and the never-ending cycle off BILLS, BILLS, BILLS.  

Ok, so you have lost your survival job, you’ve filed a claim ONLINE with EDD but what happens if you need help with your filing? You MUST speak to someone from an 800 number. 

THEY HAVE CLOSED ALL PHYSICAL OFFICES!  

EDD announced they have extended their phone hours from Monday thru Friday 8am-12pm to 4:30pm but what’s the point if at 7:51am the lines are JAMMED all day still!

I called my Senators and State Representatives. And they can’t even get through to speak to someone themselves!

What a shit show this is when even our local governments can’t get through to a department but have to wait on the phone like the rest of us.

EDD OPEN YOUR OFFICES BACK UP!
