229. Won't happen unless there's a collapse of the welfare system...
We have the pressure valve of the welfare system. I just don't see protests of this magnitude occurring in the U.S. unless there is a total collapse of the welfare system.

We live in a country that gives us just enough not to be satisfied, but quite enough to not bring about an uprising.
