The guy is a loser, but I'm sure Harry likes him.Speaking of, her's a
little cut n paste for Harry.

Illinois Rep. Allen Skillicorn says a recall resolution is on the table
if Gov. J.B. Pritzker fails to fix the state's unemployment claims
website, the representative announced Sunday.

For the past two months the Illinois Department of Employment Security
has had technical issues causing delays and frustration for thousands of
residents trying to file unemployment benefits, Skillicorn said in a statement.

“Managing this site is the one job and the one responsibility the
Governor has in all of this and he can’t even do that," he said. "The
level of incompetence here is incredible."

None of the unemployment systems were prepared for the number of
people thrown out of work by this panicdemic. Why would they be? We
weren't in this much trouble in the housing crash, not even close.
This is all a political decision run amok.


Apparently Florida’s unemployment filing system is the worst in the
country, and deliberately so.

I suspect it is more that we generally run a very low unemployment
rate so the capacity was somewhat limited and a lot of the system was
manual, trying to find fraud. They have already turned up thousands of
applications from people who don't actually live here and some who
live in other countries.
If by that you mean it was deliberately erring on the side of caution,
you are probably right. When they were only handling a couple hundred
a day it wasn't a problem.
It still can't be denied that this is an unprecedented event.
Generally the service workers here who get laid off can quickly find
another job and they don't apply for unemployment. This panicdemic has
closed off entire industries and made finding another job impossible.
It is not shocking that the system is overloaded.
