Why can’t I get unemployment I applied March 22 and have tried to call everyday to find out why I’m pending and what I need to do. I’m a single mother and I’m struggling

I been waiting a month for a response on just my status for unemployment benefits. Obviously i havent receieved a check yet. I wonder if the all corporation in 2008 bail out and 2020 have this much oversight and take this much time. In 2008 they gave billions of dollars to corporation. No question asked! Elizabeth Warren was in head of the over sight Committee for the financial bail of 2008 and she said in 2012, 4 years after, she had no clue what the corporation did with the money and when she asked, they all ignored her and never responded to her queations. When Common folks need help, there is nothing but red tape bullsh!% all over the place.

He let people to go exercise and jogging the same day 58 people died. and, Beaches are important??? 🤔 l think he needs some advises, people are more important then fun. Beaches are not essential. economy? How beaches and jogging will help with the economy? I don’t understand. More people will get sick, and more people will die.

Why are we not testing everyone that gets off of a cruise ship why are we just monitoring them or screening them screening does not mean testing screening is just taking their temperature at best many people can carry the virus without showing symptoms. I personally hold the cruise lines responsible as well as well as the CDC and quite frankly you mr. Governor DeSantis you should have been making it mandatory that everyone that gets off a cruise ship be tested whether their crew or passenger we cannot afford to take these risk especially with over 90, 000 crewmembers off the coast of Fort Lauderdale and Miami and within The Harbours of Fort Lauderdale in Miami there are over a hundred ships with 90, 000 crew members they all want to fly through Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale International Airport someone needs to put a stop to this immediately many of those ships are infected every solitary person must be tested if they're going to come ashore and every solitary person should be quarantined whether they're showing symptoms or not . it should not just be a requested voluntary quarantine it should be a mandatory quarantine with testing in the beginning and at the end of the quarantine. They should be repatriated home on their own. Ships or be transferred to Trans-Atlantic ships that can take them back to the Philippines or Asia and other parts of the world they should not be allowed to fly through Florida's airports coming in contact with our taxi cab drivers are bus drivers are airports are hotels this should never have been allowed. we are doomed to become the next New York. Just keep the cruise ships away from us. Please.
