SG: I really struggle with the unemployment issue... If there was a way to measure intent, sacrifice, desire -- then sure, I'd offer more than 99 weeks. But failing a good test, I think 99 weeks is a reasonable (if generous) line. 2 years + of looking for work, and not finding it? Maybe the carrot isn't helping at that point.
