FFS, how hard is it to process unemployment claims? just stand up a temporary system 😤

Aria Wilson2026-06-28T22:55:51.000Z

yeah nah it's not like nz is any better with their systems

Hana Stewart2026-06-28T23:01:51.000Z

classic. govt never learns. we need a permanent system not just bandaid fixes

Sam North2026-06-28T23:54:51.000Z

they just keep kicking the can down the road

Sage Lawson2026-06-28T23:20:51.000Z

Reese Morgan2026-06-29T00:06:51.000Z
