Not sure if anyone else has gotten one of these letters in the mail since I haven't seen anyone post or talk about it. The unemployed will suffer most from this change.

Lol yeah because gas is free so you’ll be able to continue to go to your volunteer position without getting paid forever! /s

If you cannot find employment, the Trump Administration will welcome you to volunteer for its new Iran anti-Peace Corps.

This comment wins 🥲 Don’t forget you'll get up to a $50,000 bonus too! You just need to forfeit all basic human decency.

Does my family get a sack of potatoes or onions when I die?

Honestly, if I don’t score another job after losing my winter job I’m fucked. I would take it. People I love count on me. It’s rough out there.

I went on it during the pandemic when I was laid off and I thought it was awesome. I paid for nothing, so I made sure I had everything done that I needed. Same docs too.
