I agree. For our unemployment benefits, we have to apply for two jobs a week. When my mom was sick, I made a couple feeble attempts to do so and realized I didn't have the mental energy, or even the time, to do what amounts to a part-time job...if one is serious about job-seeking. I also knew that I was needed elsewhere and didn't really think I'd be able to take a job anyway. So I let it go. I received a fraction of what I essentially had been paying into for years...my 'entitlement.' So, living off all the money I'd saved and wondering what my future will be...but anything can happen, right? Like, maybe I'll wake up one morning and find I've turned into a real live person.
I finally got a 'thanks but no thanks' letter from one of my recent applications, a job with a neighboring city. While my qualifications are indeed IMPRESSIVE, they decided to go another way. Something like that.
Also, one doesn't need ID to check out a library book (referring to paragraph 3 in the OP) at least not in these parts. You walk into the library and request a card. You fill out a piece of paper. You get a card. That's it. You don't need proof of address or state ID or anything.
