#1 Don't consider 'off the books'. Someone is making money on the streets of Chicago but I doubt they turn up on the employment stats.

#4 In his new book, Men Without Work, Eberstadt describes this as a deep moral and social crisis which is passing almost unnoticed by politicians, pundits, business leaders and economists.

The problem is how long it takes to get a book published. This was obviously written in the "Good Old Days™" of the Obama era

Prophetic.

#7 Basically they did nothing much.

Yeah, they need to be real men and work really hard so that the privileged can continue to pay for their EBT cards and "disabilty" (wink!).

Then, if they're really lucky, they will be deemed worthy of hooking up with Trigglypuff or her Vibrant! equivalent, while making themselves available for future #MeToo campaigns and/or divorce rape as needed.

Man up, dammit!

#10 "A third of them have used illegal drugs in the past year." there's your answer. The numbers are only increasing. Men and women. Sad to say and sad to see. Every town and every city USA.EMS Ambulance and emergency room services going broke now. Small towns can't handle the costs now. I believe it was the mayor of Baltimore city took a tour of a poor area and complained of the smell of death caught on a open mike.

#11 A third of them have used illegal drugs in the past year.
This means little without a comparison to the cohort of their compatriots who are employed: what %-age of those men have used illegal drugs in the past year?

#12 Just curious - how many are minorities? Given that there a no headlines, I imagine that a majority of these men are white. Because if they were black or Hispanic or anything else, you'd have the press screaming about it.
