People who have stopped looking for work - including those who have given up - aren't counted in unemployment figures.
One big reason people are flocking to candidates like Trump: the real unemployment rate (inc. people not looking for work) is close to 10%.
Idea: an RPG where you have to run a startup as a ninja, a wizard, a unicorn etc, in a magical realist version of Silicon Valley.
A good statement by Hillary Clinton about HIV and AIDS, over on Medium. https://medium.com/@HillaryClinton/on-the-fight-against-hiv-and-aids-and-on-the-people-who-really-st...
I'm still personally offended by this boneheaded Tory government. Glad I don't live there anymore. http://www.theguardian.com/money/2016/mar/12/eu-workers-deported-earning-less-35000-employees-americ...
Commercial art, like albums, can now be living documents. Interesting to think what this could mean for the novel. https://medium.com/p/fc9ccc0dd0e5

@adamamyl @jdforrester Most importantly: none of this makes us an iota safer. The only thing that might is a more peaceful foreign policy.
