Unemployment Insurance Weekly Claims

It's good that you are emotionally intelligent enough to express that I am allowed a different view. I'm not at all sure how you can draw the conclusion that my responses are all one-liners but, hey-ho, nor whether I don't have a real understanding ...

Hesron, Not for the first time on this theme, you have to learn to waste less time shouting "Manipulation" at everything that in the moment seems illogical or conspiratorial if it doesn't exactly match your expectation. What happens immediately ...
