White Shop: Odins Wheel pendant
The Odins cross, also known as the wheel cross, sun cross or Wodens cross, a cross inside a circle, is a common symbol in artifacts of the Americas and Prehistoric Europe, particularly during the Neolithic to Bronze Age periods.


[This is a joke from America based on the comedians Abbott and Costello. This is exactly how the South African Government works with regard to employment. They also play tricks like this. But they do a similar thing with Crime as well, by creating all kinds of new weird categories and thereby hiding the true seriousness of crime. Jan]

Gotta love the logic of this one.

COSTELLO : I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America .

ABBOTT : Good Subject. Terrible Times. It’s 5.6%.

COSTELLO : That many people are out of work?

ABBOTT : No, that’s 23%.

COSTELLO : You just said 5.6%.

ABBOTT : 5.6% Unemployed.

COSTELLO : Right 5.6% out of work.

ABBOTT : No, that’s 23%.

COSTELLO : Okay, so it’s 23% unemployed.

ABBOTT : No, that’s 5.6%.

COSTELLO : WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 5.6% or 23%?

ABBOTT : 5.6% are unemployed. 23% are out of work.

COSTELLO : If you are out of work, you are unemployed.

ABBOTT : No, Obama said you can’t count the "Out of Work" as the unemployed. You have to look for work to be unemployed.

COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!!!

ABBOTT : No, you miss his point.

COSTELLO : What point?

ABBOTT : Someone who doesn’t look for work can’t be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn’t be fair.

COSTELLO: To whom?

ABBOTT : The unemployed.

COSTELLO : But ALL of them are out of work.

ABBOTT : No, the unemployed are actively looking for work. Those who are out of work gave up looking and if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.

COSTELLO: So, if you’re off the unemployment roles that would count as less unemployment?

ABBOTT : Unemployment would go down. Absolutely!

COSTELLO : The unemployment just goes down because you don’t look for work?

ABBOTT : Absolutely it goes down. That’s how it gets to 5.6%. Otherwise, it would be 23%.

COSTELLO : Wait, I got a question for you. That means there are two ways to bring down the unemployment number?

ABBOTT : Two ways is correct.

COSTELLO : Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?

ABBOTT : Correct.

COSTELLO : And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?

ABBOTT : Bingo.

COSTELLO: So, there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to have people stop looking for work.

ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like a Democrat.

COSTELLO: I don’t even know what the hell I just said!

ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like Biden.
