Kids Should be Kids...

Don't look now, but apparently there is an issue with youth unemployment in one of the two countries that will go through Greece-like shenanigans very shortly, Spain (Portugal is the other one, but no one cares about them).

If you believe that unemployed young people are not a big deal, search for images of riots in Greece. Did you see that grandma throwing Molotov cocktails? Or that middle-aged man with a bat attacking police? Me neither.

What happens when young people lose work, can't find work, have lost hope of making a living, and see their politicians agreeing to more austerity measures that will seal their fate? They go shopping at the mall with their friends! Unless they have no money and are pissed off. Then they riot.


Doesn't look like Greece or Spain have great employment outlooks either:
