H/t to Zerohedge.
According to those who track actual statistics, and not those produced by the Orwellian Bureau of Labor and Statistics (aka Bureau of Lies), “real” unemployment remains at about 20%. We are at the tipping point where more people are collecting some type of government “aid” than are working a traditional full-time job with benefits.
It is against this backdrop that brawls broke out across the nation over the release of retro Air Jordan sneakers – at $185 a pop. If this is the automatic response to denial to a crass commercial product, think about what will happen when the pipeline for automatic payments dries up.
There is another video embedded in the Zero Hedge piece. There was a similar brawl at the Fair Oaks mall in Fairfax County, Virginia, which compelled non-Air-Jordan seekers to flee the mall entirely.
