How incredibly vulgar of you. You think we are actually complaining that we don't live in North America? I think we are all quite happy where we are, thank you very much. We're just a tad disappointed we can't participate in this competition.
Secondly, high unemployment? Really? What a totally unique problem you have there in your home city.
To your first point, that's what I'm saying. You pay the price of living in a fantastic place, and the one of the things that sucks is you can't win a 20 dollar tshirt for free.
Second, I think at peak in 2005, unemployment was at 20%, hooray for the automotive industry.
EDIT: Also just realized why your first point said that. Faulty wording on my part.

Are you kidding me?! It's not exactly sunshine and rainbows over here. I can't even tell you how badly I want to live in NA, it burns me up every day that I'm not there. I've been there four times in my life so far, and it already feels more welcoming than where I live. At least you get the t-shirts, we get high unemployment here without the benefit of a new sodding shirt.
Fair enough, I wasn't trying to belittle anyone, my point may have come as a bit misconstrued. But, simply enough put the grass is always greener, right? By the way, where I am, it's not too welcoming either far too much racism.
You're probably fortunate enough not to be able to see it all from across the pond, but there's a lot not fantastic about it, really. Anyway, this really is beside the point and not really pertinent to the matter at hand.
