    Today, projects are done by professionals and most citizens contribute through financial means.
    That wasn't what I asked you.

Once the bank moves in they lose any equity they had as the bank is only interested in selling it for the amount owed.

    Perhaps a resume service provided by the unemployment office. A refresher course on how to apply for a job for people who haven't had to look for a job in 20 years. In short: Help.
    You seem to believe that there is no help; but the truth is, all unemployment offices have classes in resume writing, interviews, help with job searches, comparable jobs, and such.
    But then you only have Canadian services to relate to.

    Counselling sessions? How to approach the bank to renegotiate a mortgage? Budget classes offering ideas on refinancing so an individuaol can take some equity out of their home to tide them over the unemployed period?

    Times have changed. Being unemployed is not a temporary thing anymore. There has to be long term strategies explained to the unemployed.

    A more comprehensive approach. Who can argue against that?

    Are you admitting that when you first decided to throw the term out there, that you really didn't have an definition also.

    Are you suggesting that there aren't any information out there, on how to do what you're complaining about?

    What kind of country have we become?

    One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”

    and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?

    Redundant ironic post by Zap, will always be a redundant ironic post.

    Obviously you thought I had a definition as you never asked for clarification. That calls for two face palms.

    I'm suggesting a person who recently lost their job may or may not know what information and help is available. The logical thing to do would be to have recently unemployed people attend a class on "Things to do while collecting Pogey."

    You're correct; I actually thought you knew what you were talking about, when you made the comment.
    I had forgotten about your past behavior of making comments, that you know nothing about, and then trying to spin it your way.

    From what I remember; when you go into file, they let you know of the services that are available to you that will help you deal with these issues.
    Now; I can only speak for the US and apparently Canada is lacking in these areas.

    Long on accusations, short on facts. Same old, same old.

    If the services I mentioned are readily available, great. There has to be a comprehensive approach as, in many cases, unemployment is going to be a lengthy ordeal.

    Since you've provided nothing to explain your usage of "equal time", it appears that the accusation is correct and you're the one that is short on facts; which is exactly your same old, same old.
