This is a sad and alarming sign of the times -- residents packed together, risking coronavirus exposure to line up for unemployment benefits.
The city of Hialeah handed out paper unemployment forms at 4 different locations Tuesday in order to help those who were unable to file through Florida's website or hotline ... and created this troubling scene. The line was full of desperate folks -- many wearing face coverings, but some not -- waiting for their applications, but clearly not following social distancing guidelines of keeping 6 feet apart.
Florida currently has more than 14,500 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and its death total is approaching 300, so it certainly calls into question the decision to make residents wait in line for unemployment forms.Our fellow Americans are hungry. They've reduced their meals so their kids can eat
SHAKING MY FUCKING HEAD
What part of social distancing don’t people get?
terrible!!! 0 social distancing why USA is not paying attention
Eat me
Hunger and poverty are going to kill more people then coronavirus.
We need more immigrants to takes these people's jobs and bring enormous numbers of descendants.
Who goes to an unemployment office for unemployment? Is this 1984? File that shit online
GOP is killing more USA citizens then their BEST friend Prince of Saudi 9/11
This is because their unemployment insurance website - poorly designed by Rick Scott - crashed & their phone lines were overwhelmed. Ron DeSantis was warned this needed to be fixed last year & ignored it. Now people are putting their lives in danger & unable to collect benefits
😱
Don't blame the people, blame the government who refuse to give citizens better access to things but give it all to rich people CoronaLockdown
Stop blaming the poor when they have no choice! Blame your pathetic government who is letting the poor pass away.
