Looks like a 99'er and we're paying for it.

Actually, it is probably a former Fox News' fact checker.
We all know that job has been eliminated years ago.

that guy had WAY too much time to not find a job. sure, it could be a creative way to get an employer to look at it in certain circles and say that they need someone with that much creativity, but still...yikes.

[RedRide]

Why is this thread about demonizing the unemplyed?

With over six people for every one avalible job...... do the freaken math!

[DandiDani]

I think that guy has talent thats for sure. i kept thinking when is this going to end? it went on forever it seemed. i hope he finds a job to put his skills to use

[frownonfun]

wow how did that elicit a "must be a 99er". lol.

another possibility could be it's the child of some billionaire who didn't have to pay any estate tax. but who the hell comes to that conclusion after watching the video!?

all i thought of when it was over was, damn wouldn't it have been a lot easier to have just walked over and opened those curtains?

I don't want to make any assumptions about the creator of this, but it had to take months and countless hours. It's not something a kid would have done. A college student would never have the time or that type of free reign of a house. That leaves an unemployed adult. Again, not to pre-judge, but a reasonable guess is that it is indeed someone collecting unemployment when they are supposed to be actively pursuing a job. The "99er" comment referencing the current 99 weeks of unemployment extensions is just making a point.

Well, you are "pre juding.
You are also making the asinine assumption that if someone is unimployed they have to spend 24 hrs a day looking for a job.

Critcizing the unimployed is un Christian, un American and just plain nasty!

Did I forget to mention that I'm half unemployed myself (I've been looking for a part time job to complete a full time schedule as I'm only working part time know)?

I spend half of each day searching for a job. I know how hard it is.

So what's the story behind this? Link doesn't work for me.

Yeah maybe you're right. I think it's obama's fault. Pelosi is the devil! I hate the federal government. Where is my gun so i can go exercise my 2nd amendment rights on this lazy sack of ... whoa whoa whoa, sorry, my tea party Tourettes started to kick in there.

Where did all that come from?

My post wasn't even political. Just hypothesizing who would have the time to build such a useless project. They were reasonable assumptions. But who knows the situation? I just find it hard to believe someone was paid to do this in their home? Am I that crazy?

Well, I was out of work for a year and a half and I didn't collect one dime from unemployment. Some people do save money to live on...

Although I've never collected, I have nothing wrong with unemployment compensation when someone is laid off at no fault of their own.

The real important issue is that it must be limited or else the whole system won't work.
99 weeks and the left want to extend it more! Are they kidding? You know people won't take work if their unemployment check pays more. Life sucks, sometimes you just can't replace an old salary but that doesn't mean you never have to work again. Reality is that people may just have to take that $10/hr job. There's little incentive if you know you can collect for over two years without working.

do want $10/hour... right now i am struggling with $8.55/hour, and would love $10/hour...

this unemployment extension pisses me off too, as i hate that some people get to sit on unemployment and drink their check away, but i have to bust my ass to pay for things, and this guy has been on for over a year... long enough for his certifications for his career field to lapse...


i know that this is a rant, but i do not think that i am wrong here...

Haven't you guys ever heard of Rube Goldburg?
