Unemployment figures rise... For Somali Pirates.
« on: May 01, 2013, 12:27:03 AM »
 More guns = less crime? Who knew?  ;D


"The cost of Somali piracy to the global economy has declined by 12.5 percent since 2011 as attacks fell sharply, a survey showed on Tuesday, but the cost of armed guards to protect ships soared."

[/size]"According to EU NAVFOR, the European Union naval task force that is one of several military forces patrolling the Indian Ocean, there were only 36 confirmed pirate attacks in 2012 compared to 176 the previous year. Only five ships were captured, down from 25 in 2011 and 27 in 2010."[/color]

I have noticed that there isn't as much demand for pirates here in  Minnesota as there used to be. Arrrr! ;)
