All Things Profane and Sacred

Here is a bit of absolute insanity for you-

J's brother, who is a veteran, was recently laid off. He went down to the local unemployment office to file for unemployment and look for a job. He was told that the new policy for veterans is that they need to see their "vet rep" before they can file for unemployment. The waiting list for an appointment with a vet rep is so long, that the next available appointment is in three weeks. Until he sees his vet rep, he cannot get unemployment or leads from the unemployment office. This is how Portland treats its veterans-making it more difficult for them to get assistance when they need it. Astonishing and disgusting.
