— Unemployment Benefits Expire for Millions Without Pushback From Biden – Jim Tankersley and Ben Casselman (COMMENT: What did you do to avoid unemployment? I took what my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes say were bad jobs, jobs that they would never stoop to take. I took many job-related university courses, earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970, and three job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997. I passed tests to earn two job-related professional certifications in 1979 and 1981, earned a job-related professional license in 1981, and grandfathered into four job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. Further, I withstood tremendous efforts by my Democrat superiors to get rid of me. Despite their tremendous efforts, I got promoted to GS-9, currently $59,258/year, in 1972; to GS-11, currently $71,697/year, in 1973; to GS-12, currently $85,935/year, in 1974; and to GS-13, currently $102,188/year, in 1986.)

IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)
