Hey, anybody actually read my original message?
Where I never said "low" unemployment more or
less everywhere, but "relatively low" UE in the
U.S.? Eh?
It ought to be possible to logically separate the
issue of historic landmarks of utter, systemic
breakdown (e.g., "crisis") from value judgements
about how lousy things are for the workers and
peasants of Spain, Bengla-Desh, and the places
you-all live.
Now if you'll pardon me I have to load the fridge
with my latest cargo of sumptuary indulgences.
