Funny, I've been following Egypt, and the keep talking about all the unemployment there, and horrible conditions for the middle and working class. They've shown interviews

w/college educated professionals who've been out of work for years...You know what the unemployment rate is there?? TEN PERCENT!! And if they meanure it honestly, it's probably less

that that of the US which is really around 20% if you take into account the stuff Brendan talked about). Admitedly things are worse there in tems of wages, gov oppression, etc., but this all

shows that different countries are more alike than different.

Another similarity: CNN's head foreign correspondant just said that police In Egypt randomly commit acts of violence against people, arrest them at will, don't tell family members of people imprisoned, and of

corse that the army has not for the most part not attacked the protesters or shot at their own people. Hmm, sounds like the way dark skinned people and immigrants are treated in a country I know...

So here it is again from the horses' mouths. At the highest level they are saying now that unemployment won't come down to a near(-but-still-high)-normal 5% for another 10 years, with 6 years being the Optimists' view. And that's with Corporate America sitting on a liquid $2Trillion in cash = 50 million people working for a year. They'd rather buy back their own stock (to keep the gains and dividends in-house) than to put a commoner to work.



9% Unemployment Just Fine http://www.cnbc.com/id/41517149

10% of the land is The Hand

that pulls the strings...
to have, to own, to hold:
money, property, assets - before lives

Green gestures..an endless debate
Why? Just to justify,
jus-ti-justify..this 'Utopia':
"Money is our business
Cash is our business
These derivatives is our business
Lies! are our business
Business is our Business!!"
