3. That will happen when the fudged unemployment number is 10%

and even the Chumps have lost faith in their great emperor to do anything but throw tantrums on Twitter and throw people he doesn't like out of work--and he doesn't like anyone who might take attention away from him for even a picosecond.

Things are going to have to get really dystopian out there to motivate people off their couches to organize and forgo a day's pay in order to remind those assholes just how much they depend on the rest of us.

4. South Korea had 2.5 million protesting their crazy president, and she's been impeached

US equivalent would be 16 million-ish. We have a ways to go, but the cubs got 5 million after the world series.

16 million in the streets, every weekend, and a general strike. that should do it.
