Programming: Committing to the idea that ideas must, must, must be expressed cleanly.
- sandipc 14y agoNever taking unemployment while without work -- may I ask why?
- j2labs 14y agoI took a healthy severance from a company that bought my previous employer with government backing. It felt like I was already given unemployment. In addition to that, other people surely needed the funds, which seemed limited at the time, more than I did.
- sejje 14y agoI also would never take unemployment, and it's because I don't believe it's the role of the state to provide for me.
- marcamillion 14y agoI am sure this means that you've never been starving with all your help fully tapped out. Until you reach that point, please don't make such concrete declarations.
