Furious teachers at a recently shuttered Detroit charter school were notified Wednesday that they won't be paid thousands of dollars they earned during the last school year.

"Last Friday, Matchbook Learning became aware that the holders of MTA's outstanding bond debt are refusing to allow use of funds for any summer payroll and instead, are requiring that any available funds be used toward payment of the bond debt," Matchbook's CEO Sajan George told teachers in the email. "We are disappointed and deeply saddened by this development because this means funds will not be there for July or August payroll."

    I live in a pretty crap state, but unemployment is handled all on the web now. At worst, you might have to call and number and wait on hold for a half hour to an hour. Put it on speakerphone, no problem. Somebody who's like family to me has been through the process a few times now. Yeah, it's still a hassle, but you can do it in your PJs these days.

    I agree that unemployment should be automatic. However, we have too many loonies who don't realize how much the government already knows about them (thanks to questionably legal spying) would start screaming "mark of the beast!!!eleven!1!!zomg!" If people want to do something about that, they need to stop voting for politicians that let the various TLAs and police departments get away with that shit (i.e. stop voting for Rs and Ds, like that'll ever happen--watch the R majority in congress expand in 2018 and Trump get re-elected in 2020 and these dipshits will still vote for team D--no better way to waste one's vote than letting the cool, disinterested laws of game theory guide one's actions--succumbed to that myself last November for the first time but never again--never felt that my vote was such a big fucking waste as I did the next day--could have at least voted for Johnson a 2nd time but noooo! fuck game theory, just venting and rambling at this point).
