[quote=ralphfurley]Anyone else else notice he managed to hit everything except his cell phone? He missed his calling as a little league coach.
I wonder when we would see massive civil unrest. At 20% unemployment? Or 30% like the guy says.[/quote]
Sometimes people tend to get a little upset when they are have trouble taking care of their family with no prospects of ever having “the good life” and a huge undignified stigma with being poor that has been beat into everybody’s head since birth. Especially when it was there one day and gone the next. You, put a bunch of people in a group in the same situation and have them watch the incredible vanishing money show going on in DC and sprinkle a little failing social safety nets, pensions and increased taxes and you have a catalyst for a socialist revolution.
With national U-6 @ 15.6%, up over 25% already in some urban areas and rising fast it should be a concern to everybody. Desperate, humiliated people will do what it takes to survive. Most likely situation is massive crime rather than organized protest and a welcomed police state by those that have.

I hate to say this, but I think this is just the beginning.
On another note, Arraya, have you read up on the River Rouge riot during the Great Depression in Michigan? It’s interesting due to the parallels we’re now seeing regarding Detroit’s implosion and the surging unemployment.

April 11, 2009 at 2:50 PM #379351fishsticksParticipantDuring the Great Depression, there was major social unrest in almost every city in the United States. Many of the unemployed were attracted to socialism/communism (we nearly elected a socialist governor here in California). Many other Americans were attracted to fascism, anti-Semitism, and Father Coughlin.
One of the reasons why the federal government in the 1930s created the Civilian Conservation Corp was to ship all of the angry young men (like this jerk in the video) out of cities and to rural areas to build parks, dams, aqueducts, infrastructure, etc. In areas where unofficial unemployment figures are over 20%, these programs ought to be resurrected. Why should corporations get all the welfare money?
