(Can be enlarged)In 2001, I was not so interested in the Japanese politics.
In 2008, I was not so interested in the governmental administration in Japan.
It might be simply because I have not been jobless or have had only dull-witted enemies.
Anyway, don't be a living corpse even after your victory in 2008 or 2009, to the eye of the God.
SECTION I: The Unemployed
I do not know how many unemployed persons are there in the U.S. viewing this blog now, but U.S. Department of Labor indicates that 15 million decent U.S. citizens were in the state of joblessness in September 2009.

Yet, it is still doubtful if the number of the unemployed Chinese is 24 million as of the summer of 2009.

China Facing Unemployment Issues
August 21, 2009 by Stephen Kersey
...
The poor global economy caused approximately 30 million factory workers in China to lose their jobs last year. No one really knows what the employment rate is in China or how many new jobs have been created due to the government holding that information as a secret.

It might be actually 240 million.
Anyway always keep in mind the "platinum" ratios of the populations of G3:
JAPAN: AMERICA: CHINA = 1: 2.5: 10
SECTION II: Unemployed Christians and Judaists
How different is a jobless Christian from a jobless judaist in America?
It might be related to the code of labor in each religion
Yet, American Judaists are remarkably Christian in pragmatic terms:

Conservative Judaism Turns Left
Steven Malanga, 10.27.08, 03:55 PM EST
The movement embraces labor and ''social justice.''
...
In her teshuvah, Jacobs notes that Jewish religious law holds that employers must treat workers with dignity and respect, which she interprets to mean a "living wage" in 21st-century America. Though her sources on workers' dignity are largely ancient, her definition of a living wage is based on a model endorsed by the modern labor movement. The teshuvah tells employers that a living wage is "three times the fair market rent on a two-bedroom apartment" in the county where the business is located, or 130% of the poverty line, or 80% of an area's median income.
In New York City, a living wage based on so-called fair market rent amounts to about $23 an hour for a 40-hour workweek, or more than three times the state's minimum wage. In Chicago, it is $16 an hour, or double the Illinois minimum wage.

Joh 11:1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
Joh 11:2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
Joh 11:3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
Joh 11:4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
