The current law prohibits someone who is fired OR who leaves? How does one draw unemployment then?

Layed off for economic reasons. If you quit, it is seen as you voluntarily chosing to become unemployed, if you are fired, it is because you threw the job away somehow. It is called insurance because it insures you financially against a situation you didn't seek occuring. It would be like your home insurance covering you for a fire that happened because something happened whereras getting fired or quitting would be the equivalent of you setting it on fire yourself, which wouldn't be covered. 

I am of mixed feelings about this. I grew up with a household that experienced constant job loss and some times where unemployment was denied. On the other hand there were numerous instances where this situation was justified because of the said relative's decisions and lack of consideration for the consequences, especially the impact with regards to us. Thus I also know from personal experiences that sometimes this is situation is very much deserved and disincentivizes such irresponsibility, at least for those who give a damn about what a loss of income would mean to their family.

We are passed the minimum debate time. Since no amendments have been offered, is a final vote desired?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I will strongly advise President Duke to repeal this legislation, since it will be useless because the fired unemployed are already covered by Nappy's CSSRA.

Not for nothing, but that bill was far more then just Nappy's. I wouldn't doubt that the section in question may have orginated from one of his amendments though. I cannot remember offhand, since it was over two years back.

Also don't you mean "veto", instead of "repeal"?

You guys ignored me

I was indisposed on the 14th man.

Is Nixcome not sufficient? I would rather go back and increase Nixcome payouts specifically if that were the case.

Also lets let the BIG get implemented completely before trying to ratchet up payouts.

I am rescinding my vote for the time being. I had the wrong post window open for that so it is on the wrong bill. I want to check over something before I vote on this.

So abstain for now

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Aye
