The newly unemployed in Florida are finding it extremely difficult and frustrating to apply for benefits. According to Politico, members of the DeSantis administration are blaming Rick Scott for this state of affairs. As the story goes, Scott wanted to deter people from filing for unemployment in order to punish slackers and make his numbers look good. The apparent problems with the system were actually designed with that purpose in mind; they are a feature, not a bug.
Do I believe this story? In the immortal words of Sarah Palin, you betcha. Does it trouble me that Trump and DeSantis may pay a political price for it? Not in the least.
