Explaining American Men's 'Electile' Dysfunction In 1 Serious Chart

Did we just cross "the tipping point" for faith in the American dream?

 

(US Labor Force Participation for Males vs "Trump" news story count)

Having fallen consistently from almost 90% particpation in the labor force in 1948 to just 68.5% in 2015, it appears that crossing below the 70% participation rate has pushed American men to their limit of faith in career politicians.

Well. There is a relationship. Once employment became a substitute for marriage rather than something women did to support themselves while on the marriage market, women's incentive to take care of themselves before and after marrIage was greatly reduced.

Within 5 years every aluminum smelter in the nation .....and any business manufacturing anything of aluminum, steel, plastic, or carbon fiber will be closed from energy taxes.

It will be more profitable to burn US fuel in China than in America to beat Americans and still turn a profit on top of transportation costs.

Too many to list, no smelter no manufacturer.

Backpacking in.the.mountains. did a.section of the Appalachian. Trail last october had a great time..  of course I have backpacked. Many times before.I want to share the most important thing you need. A little stove. There are several kinds.  Alcohol pepsican stoves weigh .5,oz. They are a first rate piece of equipment. A cheap aluminum tea kettle or an expensive titanium pot to boil water for cofffee and dehydrated food. You can walk 60 miles with a shoe box sized food bag.  The other stove to try is the Iso. Butane canister type. It does a great job Wal-Mart have them also eBay sells cheap ones. Instant cheese soup with par boiled rice 10 minutes.  Eastern tennessee.

this time vote for only those who are neither republican nor democrat [independents ONLY].  A cogress and president who are all independent party- and 90% of issues will get voted on in just one 4 year term.

Bill Clinton raped Juanita Broaddrick while he was Ark. Attorney General.Hillary also played an important role in the coverup.A couple of real perverts.Like I said before,did the cigar that Bill used on Monica in the WhiteHouse come from Cuba? Trump says,"Hillary has a lot to hide."

A competent paid actor versus a glorified dreamer communist versus a failing (flailing?) seriously sick matriarch of a corrupt criminal family that lives in a bubble and some corrupt RINOs added in the background for color and some Latino diversity. At least the actor is the best of the crowd.

I can only hope that either Trump himself, or those who don't see that his simple proscriptions which are common first impulses are doomed to fail, mired in the societal machinery of groupthink, will notice when the orange puff bounces, the shape his mouth takes is just disgusting.  Pttoooie!

 

However, as much he disgusts me, if he would twist the wrench of his rationality a little further, he might find solid common ground.  Eg, accepting any multitude in charity, sympathetic to the innocent, yet knowing the multitude holds hidden mass killers, well, that is clearly imprudent.  Moslems are members of a faith that holds violent conquest as its goal.  Our President should be sensitive to this impairment.  Been proven, continues to be in Europe.

Need to raise those Tariffs, so we can make/provide for goods/services domestically.

This is where the FreeTraderOligarchs and NationStates conflict over.

Labor force participation... Let me tell you what I see from males in the labor force in my experience. If they aren't too busy playing video games and/or getting stoned to get a job, they come to a job and fuck about. And it sucks, because I can't kick them in the ass and out the door!

These so called men in the labor force are usually bitches, but they have a job, as opposed to their lame ass counterparts who make excuses and excuses to not work. But It's not good enough!

In Europe if you work slow, someone WILL kick you. In Japan, you will be shamed, kicked and humiliated. In Amerika, men don't even appreciate that they have a job. It's just a means to unemployment benefits, for which we can thank the Dawn of A New Day Socialist Agenda expanded recently by the Obama administration to give benefits for votes to scum. I really doubt that the average American Male of employment age could find his ass from his elbow.

The kicker is that with numbers like Trump has, these pussy non-achievers will finally get a big daddy authoritarian figure because, without a spine, without an identity, without a work ethic, this country is gone to shit.

The new man is a bitch. The new man is an insult to women who participate in the labor force. The new man is an insult to himself. The new man is just what the feminists want him to be, a coward, whining sperm donor. People like this don't have an active interest in anything but thier boyfriends and video games.

I'm pretty sure there are a lot of 'men' that pimp-slap their bitches and make 'em into baby mommas . . . in between collecting free shit benefits.
