What happens when unemployment reaches high enough numbers? People get desperate, they steal, causing crime to rise. What happens if crime rises countrywide, martial law like seen in Louisiana during Katrina. I'm not hoping for it, but I'm watching and preparing.

I already know you're going to say conspiracy theorist, or I'm crazy, and I don't really careh:

current problem= closely resembles past events in other countries

Doesn't mean it will happen but the parallels are disconcerting.
