Most Americans are unaware that unemployment does not occur by
chance, but is manipulated by those who run the country on behalf of the
ruling plutocrats and their corporations.
Unless millions of people are kept unemployed, wages will rise, so
the psychopaths who rule do not allow anything approaching full
employment. I say psychopaths because they claim to be intelligent and
informed people, so one would assume they know that keeping unemployment
high results in massive suffering -- hunger, homelessness, the world’s
largest prison system and other horrors for the masses.
