Well, zero.

Not one.

Not a single one.

You would want a much tighter labor market

Because the value of labor is about to plummet.

And that means that millions of Americans will be left with not enough or nothing at all to do.

And that will be terrible for them because people without work are volatile, unhappy people.

They're people without a purpose.

And that will mean disaster potentially for your country because unemployed people in large numbers are dangerous.

And that's why the last time this happened, the president of the United States at the time, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whatever his faults, many manifold, decided to mobilize unemployed men in the Civilian Conservation Corps in the largest peacetime mobilization in world history.

And you know who led that mobilization?

General Douglas MacArthur, later famous for many other reasons in the Philippines and in Japan.

He put a general,

in charge of putting America's unemployed men to work.

Then in the course of that work, they basically rebuilt the national parks and built the GW Parkway through downtown DC and actually did a lot of pretty amazing work to the country's infrastructure, much of which still stands.

So he both avoided domestic unrest, maybe even a revolution, and he improved the country in the process.

It's not an endorsement of all of his policies.

In some ways, a truly horrible president.

Got us into World War II for no obvious reason, et cetera, et cetera.

But in this one way, the Roosevelt administration took very seriously the problem of having lots of unemployed people.
