REMINDER FOR
LAID-OFF & UNEMPLOYED
AMERICANS

there is no shame in using all the social services you have paid with your taxes, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A WHITE, MID/HIGH INCOME EARNER.

welfare is racialized in this country to deprive all Americans of the social services WE PAY for.

it’s imperative y’all flood social services offices because if you don't, that's why the griftocracy keeps cutting local, state & federal budgets.

so here’s what you can do after losing your job:

  1. UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
    go to the Labor Dept nearest you & fill out a request for payouts. it is imperative you do so because if your employer didn't pay for the insurance, they get to have the DOL fine their asses.

  2. BEFORE
    Medicaid is like Medicare for all but the money & benefits are controlled by the state, not the federal government. NY has one of the best. Mississippi, one of worse. either way, get to the nearest office before you cut a check for .

why?

As Medicaid unwinds... Before the pandemic expanded Medicaid coverage, ~30% of prenatal Medicaid enrollees had lapses in Medicaid coverage by 9-10 months postpartum. State postpartum Medicaid extensions could prevent a return to prepandemic rates of postpartum coverage loss. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37406233/

I was sick, and you said "You look fine to me".
I was sick, and you cast me off.
I was sick, and you used it against me.
I was sick, and you took my health care.
I was sick, and you battered and killed.
I was sick, and you fought for a wooden hammer.
I was sick, and you fought about blue and red.
I was sick, and you fought as the nations watched with disdain.
I was sick, and you fought the "wrong" while resembling it.
I was sick, as you fought for "all" but, forgot about us.

My adaptation of Matthew 25:39 inspired by the work below. (Not an endorsement for religion or church)

I was hungry, and you blamed it on the communist
I was hungry, and you circled the moon.
I was hungry, and you told me to wait
I was hungry, and you set up a commission.
I was hungry, and you said "So were my ancestors".
I was hungry, and you said we don't hire over 35.
I was hungry, you said God helps those…
I was hungry, and you told me I shouldn't be.
I was hungry, and you told me machines do that work now.
I was hungry, and you had napalm bills to pay.
I was hungry, and you said the poor are always with us.
Lord, when did we see you hungry?
