Jobs, more jobs!

It's strange that it's during an economic downturn that people have a lot of free time and it's during the good times that people spend long hours doing what other people want them to do. Isn't this backwards?

Just one of the beautiful paradoxes of capitalism. Shut up and like it or I may have to turn you in to the thought police. :)

Josh— The Romans of classical times had a similar problem with unemployment. As dictator, Caesar passed reform legislation limiting the latidundia from hiring too many slaves. The thinking was this would create job opportunities for "freed" men.
