Do something else beside moaning about your industry, the carny con.
Get a lawn mover and compete with illegals.
There are jobs, go and get one, and yes, the $600 a week is keeping you from going to work.
If all you got was $167 a week from your state, I guarantee you that you'd be out humping the streets for a job.
Right now, you are just bitching because your industry isn't something that is required, but while you are moaning, you are still taking the $600/week.
You should be a small kahuna and go and get a damn job, quit your whining.
Attitudes like that drive people away.
