I tried getting government assistance because they changed the thresholds and I am getting less work.
But I am White.
It has been over 45 days - the maximum they state for claims to be processed - and my claim is still "in process".
It takes 6 hours on hold to speak with a phone representative - they do not offer e-mail or other webform helpdesk support, and definitely no chat - only to be told that... it is in process.
I know damned well it is because I am White and a citizen (and male and straight).
