91. Oh for petes sake the unemployment rate is nowhere close to fifty or sixty

percent, which is what would be required to get anybody's attention, eighty would be even better.

for the record even in the worst depressed areas, counting the non counted, we are talking of unemployment in the 20s, and those are few and far between.

So no, that would fall into one of the many excuses as to why this does not happen.

Now let's speak plainly, the reason why this will not happen is that only the looney left would call form something AS RADICAL as a strike, let alone a national one. Yes, that is the frame and that is the frame people believe.
