Almost one-third of all working-age men in America aren’t doing diddly-squat. They don’t have a job, and they aren’t looking for one either. One-third of all working-age men. That’s almost 30 million people!

How do they live? What are they doing for money? To me, this is one of the great mysteries of our time.

I’m certainly not the first person to make note of this shocking statistic. You’ve heard people bemoaning this "labor participation rate," which is simply the number of working-age men (usually counted as ages 16 to 64) who are working or are seeking work, as a percentage of the overall labor force.

I remember one back about 1980 maybe as late as 1985, the kid was about 20 to 22 years old.
His sign said he was a disabled Viet Nam vet, I told him to f#ck off and called him on it.

I enlisted in December 67.

Oh, I ripple out a lot! Plumbers, lawn maintenance and snow tossers and electricians and roofers and on and on.
You know the best snow people are kids tromping down the street. I snatch them up for hard cash so I guess that makes me a human trafficker. Wait, it’s catch and release so I guess that makes me a Democrat *harf*

ummover 60% of women are overweight or obese

about 80% of black women are overweight or obese

and dont forget men carry significantly more muscle than women and its weight is five times more than fat

further we don’t have a gynosociety that celebrates fat men

we do have a gynosociety that celebrates fat women

Good point. I am not sure what the retirement plan is for merely existing without a home or financial security in the Golden Years. Without paying social security no cash flow in.
