Why men are leaving the workforce?

[RickyDiBiase]

Watching that video, I noticed three major things:

1. It ignores that main driver of U.S. deindustrialization - which was large companies colluding and taking their jobs overseas to exploit cheaper labor abroad - they touched on it, but did not put the blame squarely where it belonged: the titans of industry.

2. I think there should be much more research into the unhealthy group of men who aren't working: it is easily dismissed, but nearly all of the perpetually unemployed men I know (only a few) are dealing with fairly serious mental health issues - bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and PTSD.

3. Para-employment like Uber, Lyft, grocery and food delivery as well as illicit activity - drug sales and scamming - are one of the ways that a chunk of these unemployed men are able to maintain some income.

Also: the man speaking in the video, is from the American Enterprise Institute - a right-wing think tank - much of what he has to say (which includes an attack on disability benefits) is purely ideological

This is actually a really solid point.

You would observe that most of these corporate place are filled with women
I get that you go trials & tribulations
but completely abandoning them spells even worse for the next gen
Be the change you want to see come into effect
Women in those roles look out for their gender
Black men need to start doing the same

Regular 9-5 thats not bringing in big bucks seems utterly pointless. You working all damn day just to keep the utilities on then pass out to start it up again on Monday. Don't even have wiggle room to build towards shyt or splurge on recreational fun. If you do splurge now you have to spend even more time at that nut ass job to get out of the hole

Because cost of living is high and salaries are low

And yet men aren't even heavily applying at higher paying jobs that don't require college degrees (trades), nor are they going to college in order to get high paying jobs that do require degrees.

There are no black men. Even in corporate black social orgs the dialog of convos always shifts to pandering to women

The guy that knocked up my cousin is 27. He plays all day and smokes. He doesn't drive because he got "traumatized" while learning how to drive years ago after a collision.

He aspires to be a Twitch streamer. I think he graduated HS not sure. He doesn't do shyt.

My gfs brother is a son husband and is online constantly. Smart but all he does is play dungeons and dragons and shyt. 27 too.

My young cousin is 31 and has a decent co parenting setup with his baby moms. He works 60+ hours as a cook but could be earning more and have benefits. Tried HVAC but realized he was afraid of closed spaces. Also did on off catering but that only brings in so much

I hate that these young boys are failing to launch.

What was their upbringing and was their home LEAD by a father because an old simp slaving for a domineering matriarch on some everybody hates chris shyt isn't that

The cost of living in the last 10 years has skyrocket but wages have been stagnant. A lot of men have to work 2 jobs or do delivery services on top of work just to pay 1800 a month to stay in a rathole and keep gas in their 2011 Honda Accord.

They don't make enough money to attract a halfway decent woman and as such they can't start a family. Home ownership is a pipe dream and they will most likely work until they die.

It's all about corporations sucking sucking the life out the working man and they have the government in their pocket (both sides of the aisle).

It's not about these guys being lazy but it's like what is the reward for getting up and getting to work if it affords you nothing that their parents and grandparents had.

Men are still groomed to fit into outdated gender role of provider yet women are not thus men get seen as licks and women want the biggest lick.

Men grinded and sacrificed for family and that shyt is dead so men are like fukk it. No man in history put up with the bullshyt of the world to buy clothes and have a vacation lol

Yeah everyone needs to dead the lazy shyt

It’s mfers out here searching. It’s people out here with three jobs and people mad at those people for taking jobs.

There’s some lazy people but I’ve seen more people mad about jobs overwhelmingly. That lazy talking point is a crab mentality to talk down on others. Some people also weren’t put on game on how to look for jobs and tailor resumes. That’s not laziness, it’s just a bit of ignorance because no one put them on game

Lot of people are quitting high paying jobs to move back in with their parents because of overwork and bad pay. losing bad weight and fixing their back problems just by getting good sleep and then going to work small jobs and odd jobs instead of grinding away

[Yaboysix]

they aint refusing to date, they refuse to be apart of what society deems to be a relationship

You doing that too?

 

[Apollo Creed]

Men do more with the less. It's why you see the passport shyt exploding outside of the typical military cats and business men
