2:59:52 PM sikkitten: but I don't have a car3:01:49 PM sikkitten: so I would miss out on that perk

3:02:06 PM sikkitten: guess I'll have to wait until I'm employed and have a car before moving back to CA

3:02:57 PM weaselbringer: oh there's no unemployment anymore, now if you don't have a job they give you a state funded job eating doritos and watching TV at double your old wages
