(In the US) No, you are either misuderstanding unemployment or you read wrong information. There is no such elgiblity requirement in any state.

File for unemployment. You have nothing to lose by trying. Get an official decline, and even then, dispute it.

I don’t know what sort of copium you’re smoking. I lived in rural Michigan for most of my life. Train is absolutely not a viable mode of transportation for rural America. There’s a reason trains and subways still exist on the east coast of America and in most or Europe, Asia, and south America - they are useful.

They died out everywhere else because guess what, they are not ideal at all, and the convenience factor of cars is basically unbeatable. Even if we had a high-speed rail connecting our major cities, okay, how do I get to my destination? Another train? What about when I live 35 miles from the city center… another train…? Sounds absolutely atrocious

.Assumimg youre refering to the US, fixed rail is not a feasible mode of transportation for 90+% (ignoring something like a subway or monorail) of travel in modern America. Intra-city or between a major metropolis, sure. But that still exists… you can still take them… because the utility of them keeps them alive…

People with drastically more information, data, and money decided this is the right call. These decisions are not made in a box and the town (mayor/chamber of commerce) is always involved.

What if the reason more people don’t stop in the town is because the narrowwness made it a difficult to visit the town?

People drastically more involved than any of us decided this is the correct course of action to revitalize the downtown.

It’s a few hundred year old town that refuses to grow. It’s not a historic site. It’s just some old town that uses to exist due to the historic limitations of transportation.

A town that’s been stagannt for 60 years doesn’t yell “I’m important”

When small towns start disappearing, it’s often because they are no longer economically or socially relevant. Decline of local industries, reduced agricultural activity, lack of job opportunities, population migration…

The town is clearly on a downward trend. 60 years with no growth is not a positive thing.

Business owners just don’t randomly sell because the DOT wants to widen a road.

The town is already gone.

Leave the city and its uncommon to find a moderately underutilized truck. The Ford F150 is the most popular vehicle in america for a reason, and it’s not because people like trucks. It’s because they use them. Towing capacity, cargo space, gravel or dirt roads. Live in Michigan with tough winters? Have fun in that shitty sedan.

That said, american trucks are definitely oversized and the average owner would get the same utility out of a Kei truck.

My partner is a professional woodworker. Turns out, we haul a lot of very large stuff. You might be surprised to learn that many people utilize their trucks.

Okay, go buy a couch. Or a table.

Even with the hatchback open you’re not safely fitting a couch in there, a box that’s 37" by 69". Mind you, that’s just one of the 4 boxes.

My compact SUV can just barely it all the Morabo couch boxes in a single trip…

Plan on buying more than that couch? Too bad. Not fitting.

Define exploitative? As a person that had led these events (not organized them), work basically halts during these events. You are literally showing children how to operate machines. It’s a show for the parents. The kids are not being exploited anymore than if you took them to a ranch and they brushed a horse. The children are not improving operations or efficiency. Bu all definitions, they make work worse.

Care to explain how a 401k a scam? Id also like to khow how you reached 10m, a number that is 5-10x more than what is commonly suggested
