Donald Trumpās administration is threatening to withdraw federal funding for unemployment assistance in all 50 states as part of the presidentās nationwide campaign against āfraudā in government spending.
In a letter to the governors of 53 states and territories, acting Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling warned that the federal government would use āevery available toolā to combat āwaste, fraud and abuseā within state-run unemployment insurance programs, including āwithholding administrative funds from statesā for the first time in history.
There is no single national program for unemployment support, though the federal government partners with state agencies to support temporary financial assistance to out-of-work Americans. Nearly 2 million people are currently receiving those benefits, while roughly 229,000 people are filing initial jobless claims every week, according to the Labor Department.
Who do they think the rich will live off of then?
Or maybe they havenāt thought that far ahead.
Oh, theyāre not planning on killing all of the poor people. Just the unemployed ones.
And with employment protections gone, their conception of undesirables - non-cis and/or non-white - will be over-represented among the unemployed.
And not even all of them will die, but the survivors will have no safety net so will end up homeless, and with homelessness criminalized, theyāll be sentenced to private prisons/workhouses and be corporate slave labor.
Basically, they want to cull the herd - just eliminate the people who wonāt serve an immediate purpose in their planned technofeudalism.
