The Congressional Black Caucus met with President Obama Tuesday to discuss black unemployment, which was 13.7% nationwide in June.
/.../
This week the Washington, D.C., city council voted 8-5 to create a super-minimum wage of $12.50 an hour for certain big retailers. Wal-Mart promptly announced it is canceling plans to build three stores in the district, and it will review plans for three others that are currently under way.

The District of Columbia is 50% black, its jobless rate is 8.5%, and the city has invested millions of dollars to revitalize shopping areas to attract anchor stories like Wal-Mart. Each Wal-Mart store offered the prospect of 300 new jobs and $1 million in tax revenue.

Я посоветовал этим unemployed обзавёлся бы вилами, факелами, горячей смолой и перьями и посетил этих самых людей из city council и задал им вопрос - за что вы, сволочи, так нас ненавидите? Но, конечно, они не станут слушать моих советов...
