   If this is true, which I actually doubt the validity of the statistic, it would mean what? I know there is a shortage of workers here in Minnesota. Many businesses are giving out bounties to find people to work. So who are these men that don’t want a job? I’m not sure George is interpreting his numbers correctly. The Washington Post said there was 150,000 hires last month and it looks like hiring is going to increase to the end of the year. Again, who is George talking about? Is it the same mythical people that Trump is always referring to?

     I see them and find them. These are men who have given up and found solace in Netflix and video games. They live with parents or women who are willing to support them.
