Some are taught to do what needs to be done and they do it.
There is one Freeper who has occasionally mentioned that there is a HUGE population of unemployed young men, in their late teens & early twenties, gargantuan numbers of unemployed males throughout America, and that this is VERY dangerous - he sometimes mentions the possibility of unauthorized militias, and when I envision them, I frequently wonder what percentage will go into "professional" gangs -- simply to earn a livlihood, to EAT, pay RENT, to live.
I can't even envision what it was like during the early 40s when EVERYBODY's contribution was needed, when there was important necessary work for EVERYONE.
One thing I heard on the radio, which I know absolutely nothing about, but nonetheless found interesting, was someone who mentioned that if the dollar totally collapses, that ALL the factories in the world will relocate to the USA and there will be jobs for virtually everyone overnight.
Sounds impossible.
