On: Workers are stuck in place because everyone is too...

Thanks for this, I was referring to the great depression of 1929.

    in 1933 when the unemployment rate reached 25 percent.

You're referring to highest unemployment rate.

My statement, "most dramatic rise in unemployment," means something different.

While the Great Depression saw a much higher peak unemployment rate, the rate of change in April 2020 was the fastest one-month increase in US history.

My bad, thanks for clarifying!

So few people these days are willing to say what you just said!

I applaud you, and (with AI assistance) I've written you an acrostic poem.

Holding oneself lightly, not with pride

Understanding we all have flaws inside

Modest in manner, gentle in speech

Inclusive of others, willing to teach

Learning from mistakes, growing each day

Ignoring the urge to have our own way

Thoughtful of others, putting them first

Yielding to wisdom, quenching ego's thirst

Hah thanks. It's important to stay human on the internet, more than ever before.

This is quite the pedantic point though. That was nearly 100 years ago and has almost nothing to do with today

I actually interpreted the phrasing of "most dramatic rise in unemployment the U.S. had ever seen" exactly to mean "it was even worse than the great depression in some ways". It seems too peculiar of a thing to say otherwise, especially when the great depression is like the main thing anyone would think to compare it to.
