I'm confused by unemployment. Doesn't the company essentially pay it? The employee also gets taxed when their paycheck is deducted for unemployment insurance every month. Did they get this money back if they never use it? We know

This information should be a freedom of information request and made available to the public. If the same people are always forced to endure the burden of blackouts, and elites are not they will keep happening.

NFTs are a tool. If they can convince regulators they are art, then they can be donated, and you can write it off on your taxes. You just need a service that produces estimates of value. The one good thing about NFTs is the ability to manip
