Unemployment Office

A state agency where the unemployed go to get unemployment benefits, under the pretense that they are looking for work.

To go along with the pretense of the unemployed, bureaucrats usually try to get peeps to call the Unemployment Office the opposite of what it is, with euphemisms such as Employment Development Department, in California.

San Francisco

One of those places where no one can both live and work there. Only people who can afford not to work can afford to live there. People who work there live some place like Santa Rosa or San Jose.

The natural result of San Francisco is that people who work in Santa Rosa or San Jose can't afford to live there, because people who live in Frisco took all the houses, and have to live some place like Ukiah or Modesto instead.

People used to both live and work in Modesto, but now they have to commute from Sonora or Madera. It's all Frisco's fault, and the sooner one of their faults dumps them in the ocean, the better.

evangelizing secularists

Proponents of the myth of the Separation of Church and State who, suffering from Jehovahphobia, do their level best to eliminate any reference to religion, especially Christian religion, from public life.

In the U.S., it's unconstitutional to pass any "law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Therefore, evangelizing secularists persuade the courts to set precedents that have the effect of regulating religion and the free exercise thereof.
