Kenny was the first to expose appears to be a massive fraud problem involving the use of unemployment debit cards issued by bank of america. It sort of shouted out oh my god. Almost all of my unemployment has opinion almost hacked. That was brooks reaction when she went to check her edd card balance. Two charges, one for 1,500 at neaman marcus and another had wipe the out her account. She was on hold for hours before she was finally able to file a claim. She is still fighting to get all her money back. It feels like bank of america isnt taking this seriously. It feels like we are being treated like second class citizens.

I wont stop. Edk told us if the fraud is happening on the card, then the america can resolve it and pay the victim back. When we asked b of of about that they said no comment.

We are assessing this in realtime over the next day or two to make determinations of deep purple moves, more in line with the stay at home order that folks were familiar with in the beginning of this year. The governor said that if the current surge continues 78 of hospital beds will be object identified by christmas which is a scary thought. Icu beds would be at capacity by the end of the year. The governor said that in order to change that path he is thinking about issuing a stay at home order for the purple tier which at this point has just been voluntary. That would include 51 out of 58 counties which would include 90 of the population of california. There potentially could be sweeping changes when it comes to the state which most of which is the purple tier.
