The good people of Detroit did not lose their minds because of unemployment, they did so because someone said the magic word “FREE.” Even during record employment, hysteria breaks out when you use tht word. How many times have you been in a line at a store the day after thanksgiving during record employemt years because they were going to sell a cretain amount of a certain thing for a ridiculously low price.
Large uprisings (not scirmishes or protests) break out mostly for just a few reasons, unemployment isn’t one of them. The most common are when basic food and medicine needs cannot be met (we are past the days of famine, and pandemics cause people to avoid crowds), racism, when someone uses the words “free” and of course….soccer in any country other than the united states.
