If we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people
under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy. - Thomas Jefferson

The projections of unemployment reaching 12% is very scary...what's the percentage of unemployed that indicates an unstable society because all those unemployed people start rioting? I think it's around 12%.....
Better start preparing for the revolution! Time for a system correction!
