Why Are Mean Leaving The Workforce?

While it can be depressing, I think some of the causes aren't that hard to understand.

I think a lot of it has to do with men like The Super Athlete Rusev. The WWE United States Champion, undefeated for a year, only of the only men to ever defeat John Cena by Submission. Recipient of the Gold Star Medal Presented to him via Vladimir Putin himself. Trained in Muay Thai

And when young men, essentially still boys see someone like Rusev. They do one of two things. Either they step up and raise their game, working harder and fighting every day to match up and maybe even one day surpass him. Like Roman Reigns or Apolo Crews.

Or the alternative, they give up. They see someone faster, stronger, bigger, smarter who is more aggressive and assertive than them and go "Well I'm inferior to him. I can't do that, I don't want to have to try. He's just much better than me. Why even bother?" and regress. They give up their lot on working, on self-improvement, on women. And just sit back and watch real men compete and live their lives.

In fact you'll notice that out of these "10 million men" who haven't worked in over a year, most of this kicked off and escalated in 2013, when Rusev hit the scene on NXT. 

If you present people with the option. "Work at WalMart 9-5 to earn the money to go to college to learn how to manage pensions for the CEOs in the upper-percentile of private lawfirms in the mid-west area to earn millions of dollars over the course of 20 years."

or

"Sit at home and watch The Marine Homefront on DVD."

They take one glance at Rusev and do the later.

In fact I think you could argue that a lot of the biggest problems facing America today are the result of Rusev.
