Yes it is a big number. A huge amount of money going into the US to keep it afloat and make the Doomsday Preppers waste their time. Take it out and then they will be the guys who were right.

Everyone is pointing the blame here. I'm suggesting solutions. This I know for sure. $500,000,000 divided by 12 million is $41,666. An unemployed person on average gets $????. Not $41,666 a year. So a lot of that goes to pay civil servants, office workers and the costs of running the system.

So $500,000,000 is spread around and being spent in the US. IT HAPPENS IN OTHER PLACES. Cut taxes and all you do is move a slice of that money from Jim to John. There is no extra spending, none at all.

In fact if the money is cut. The cut adds to the unemployed. Simple to work out, shops wont take on anyone new to handle the extra business, the amount of extra good bought, that are made in the US will be negligible and the docks might take on a couple of guys. There is no boost to spending, no recovery. In fact it dumps us all in the shit a bit deeper. Except we will all be able to buy a new imported phone.

If you want to return online porn back to the same as 2000-2006, you have to get in a time machine or have the exact same conditions.

If you want to return the World back to the times of full employment or close to it, again you need a time machine or the exact situations of those times.

This issue hasn't been solved in 30 years, you think a 7 page post on GFY will get it done?
The issue could be solved and will have to be one day. Problem is it will need people to accept there are not enough jobs to go around in the system we currently run. Once that happens, there are two solutions. Form of communism where everyone working take a much lower wage so employers can employ more people. which will be a huge risk. Or we accept the world as it is and will be and give people who can't get a real job something in their lives to give the direction and a feeling of belonging to society. Blaming them for not feeling like they belong, is a weak argument. WHY^ don't they feel they belong. WHY do they prefer taking Meths?

Robbie, they can't all be selling it.
