You are not exaggerating. I read they now have ID cards that you punch in/out with that have rfid and gps capability – that can track you and report if you are spending too much time out of your area, such as the bathroom.I was out one time for a month for gall-bladder removal. Company had insurance to cover this – $100 per week and partial weeks prorated on a seven day week, ie out three days you got 3/7 of $100. I figured that with first check I could buy groceries plus car battery for $40. When check came in, apx $40 taken out for taxes! So, figured if govt can take out, maybe I’d be eligible for something back. Ended up with $600 in food stamps.
