Why did so many US men quit working? Social status may hold the key, study says
What a tripe piece of propaganda. Wrong on so many different levels and yet it apparently achieved what it was supposed to based off the comments people have posted.<p>To all those that posted its this or that, go and educate yourself rather than armchair spectate. Do something like read the Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith (1778).<p>The reasons behind the behavior being seen are not new, its happened before, many times.<p>Every time the price of wages goes below what is necessary to provide for the future, people will quit and will stop producing.<p>It is not worth their time which would be better spent producing things like food for themselves, and if you can&#x27;t even do that you get people that don&#x27;t work, and just lay down, Bai Lan style.<p>Its not new, and its a common and recurring problem found in socialist systems of every kind historically.<p>If you think the US is a capitalist system, you haven&#x27;t been paying attention to the changes which were made by your elected leaders over the past 50 years.<p>If you think otherwise, you are lying to yourself, and doing the same to anyone else that listens to you. Do you think its doing good teaching and manipulating someone to believe something you should reasonably know is false and provide them fake tools to ensure they will never solve issues?<p>Most people can&#x27;t even properly discuss these problems in large part due to indoctrination early in life. They are unwilling to learn or to think. These people have driven us to the point where now engaging in any kind of divisive discussion is preventing any kind of solution from being addressed.<p>You are either a part of the solution or are part of the problem. There are more people part of the problem than the solution.<p>The people who are engaging in manipulation and deceit to the detriment of all, are not good people. They are engaging in great acts of evil and should be brought to account for those evil acts. Karma has a way of getting to those people eventually.<p>A perfect example, we have known about the perils of climate change for quite a long time now. David Landis documented how the tropical climates make the environment adverse for human life. Parasites, bacteria, inability to create food through animal husbandry.<p>In the 90s we had credible research showing climate change was happening, Oil companies went the route of big tobacco and the bureau of tobacco studies, creating and funding false research to fit their narrative. They were not punished, and if you were one of those stupid people to fall for, it shame on you.<p>There is now no doubt its happening, many would argue its too late to act now, and we have a hot-box scenario rapidly developing. Who was the most responsible? The vast majority of people that did nothing or distracted from the problem. Who were so completely oblivious, uneducated, and unthinking, that now everyone has to face the consequences.<p>Edit: For the people downvoting trying to manipulate, apparently this hit too close to home. You&#x27;ll roast in hell or pay a high karmic price for your actions eventually.
