>>So men are better off single and not working than married, with a family, and working?
Possibly. But the trend is showing that a growing number of men are thinking that way. The situation for a young man today is not what it was 35 years ago when I chose marriage and a career. We can’t compare our 20s to their 20s. Totally different world.
Yeah. It’s fairly common for people to note that America doesn’t actually have “poor” people. Our poor people have cell phones, cable TV and Facebook accounts.
If we want people to work, we should probably strive to make poverty less desirable. I don’t like EBT cards. I like bags of rice, bags of beans and boxes of cheese distributed once a month. Somebody wants “stuff”? They should get a job.
Hey, I just replied to your comment by accident. My comment really has no connection to your comment (with which I agree).
Both men and women are marrying later than in our day.
The question IMO isn’t what they choose in their 20’s, but from their 30’s on.
And how much social pressure to marry is good? It seems to me that some is, as it turns out to be a good choice for both many individuals and of course society, but we probably had too much pressure in the past to just get married to someone (in part as the ticket to having sex), without greater considerations and other accepted options.
