What happens when?

[oncedrove]

WASHINGTON — The number of newly laid-off workers filing claims for unemployment benefits rose unexpectedly for the second straight week, an indication that jobs remain scarce.

The Labor Department says the number of first-time jobless claims rose to a seasonally adjusted 576,000 last week, from a revised figure of 561,000. Wall Street economists expected a drop to 550,000, according to a survey by Thomson Reuters.

The number of people remaining on the benefit rolls dropped by 2,000 to 6.24 million. Analysts had expected a slight decline.

The four-week average of initial claims, which smooths out fluctuations, also rose for the second straight week to 570,00

What happens when, the 6 million run out of benefits?

They will be in the same boat as I was for 3 years.

I survived, I made it so far and they can too if they want. Give up the leased cars, the big screen tvs, sell off the sporting gear and hope they have a traditional loan.

Riots? More on welfare? NOTHING good, that is for sure.

Seems like crime is starting to increase. I don't have statistics to back that up---just going off of what I see on the local news.

Naw, here in the former motor city, it is getting hard to find positive stories so they have to fill the time with local news that is bad. I have noticed that they are using more national filler stuff with long segments to get through the show.

For example we have a 12 year old who shot some girl from Davis Michigan. Everyone seems to be covering this wall to wall.

Tragic because I don't like to see this happen but the parents are to blame for it on both sides.

They are going to charge the kid as an adult, and we know from the last time they did this what happened.

The new police chief who could have done as much good being the sheriff of the country, made a big deal about this shooting because of the fact it was a young white girl who came to Detroit to find work.

Now what I read today is which makes a big difference;

This happened on August 1st, in a parked car late at night near a place known for a lot of crime. I hesitate to go in this area and worked down there for a few months 10 years ago.

The girl was looking for work as a dancer in the city which means that she was going to work at one of the strip clubs in the city and which also means that drugs could have been involved.

The father doesn't realize that Detroit is a dangerious plave and a lot of things that happen here never reach the news. He failed to teach his daughter how not to get into trouble or to use some common sense - late saturday night, parked on a street in a high crime city?

This is not the first time this has happened, there was a girl from the thumb area who came down here to work as a dancer, she was car jacked, raped and beaten by three 14 year olds. Nothing ever made the news about this case.
