YUCAIPA, Calif. - eTradeWire -- SouthernCalifornia.site presents a brief interview related to the growing interruptions in service from unemployment offices.

"I've called the unemployment office over 250 times just this morning. I almost got through to someone, once, and then it hung up. That was after 20 minutes. Most of the time I can't even get to that point before it hangs up on me. I love this country..."

"I also wrote them a long email and got an automated response back that didn't even attempt to address my problems," said the local, "And it took 6 days to get the response."

When asked about other attempts to contact the unemployment office, he said, "Oh, and I wrote a formal letter and mailed it to their office. No response to that."

"I have not given up hope yet. I keep thinking someone, somewhere, in a dusty old office in Sacramento, will see my number pop up on their phone and answer and fix my problems. I'm starting to think I have a better chance of winning the lottery though."

Now, in order to meet the demands of living, he has turned to his musical talents. For those sympathizing, you can find a sample of his music and show your support online:
