People starting to get really pissed off

[fishsticks]

During 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?

[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Arraya: Perhaps it’s not connected, but last month was the deadliest in US history for gun violence. We had, what, something like a half dozen shooting incidents throughout the country.

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.[/quote]

Yup, I noticed that too and it probably is connected. The most likely demographic of people that are going to lose it are middle aged white guys that are not used to being poor.

If I remember correctly Rouge was not the only incident in the Midwest or the country for that matter. Think I’ll read up on the depression again, come to think of it.

However, all may not be lost for Detroit. This guy could be onto something. Possibly a new boom industry?

Detroit – When selecting the best raccoon carcass for the special holiday roast, both the connoisseur and the curious should remember this simple guideline: Look for the paw.

“The paw is old school,” says Glemie Dean Beasley, a Detroit raccoon hunter and meat salesman. “It lets the customers know it’s not a cat or dog.”
Beasley, a 69-year-old retired truck driver who modestly refers to himself as the Coon Man, supplements his Social Security check with the sale of raccoon carcasses that go for as much $12 and can serve up to four. The pelts, too, are good for coats and hats and fetch up to $10 a hide.

While economic times are tough across Michigan as its people slog through a difficult and protracted deindustrialization, Beasley remains upbeat.
Where one man sees a vacant lot, Beasley sees a buffet.
“Starvation is cheap,” he says as he prepares an afternoon lunch of barbecue coon and red pop at his west side home.

[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Cardiff: Was the tourney at Ingold Field (off Olive Hill) or at Fallbrook HS? Either way, if you’re coming from Carlsbad, you’ll want to take the 76E to Mission Road and then Mission to Olive Hill (if you’re going to Ingold Field) or right at Stagecoach (if you’re going to Fallbrook HS).

Olive Hill is a pretty drive, but slow as hell compared to Mission.[/quote]

We were at Ingold or technically the fields off to the left up and around back. (I think Ingold you turn right once up in that little area where the fields are). Can’t believe how dependent we are on technology sometimes Olive Hill is a slow drive because of the tight bends. I never expanded the map out to see what other options I had.

Cardiff: Yeah, GPS is like Mapquest in that respect. You become so dependent on it, you don’t realize that there are other options, or that it might be wrong.

I learned pretty quickly in the Army that there is nothing like a good old-fashioned map.
