The No Good, Very Bad Outlook for the Working-Class American Man - NationalJournal.com

The No Good, Very Bad Outlook for the Working-Class American Man - NationalJournal.com

"Since then, men have been steadily withdrawing from the workforce—but, again, not uniformly. Ninety percent of college-educated men are still working. But a fifth of men with only a high school degree weren’t working in 2008, before the recession struck; today, a fourth of them don’t hold a job. Among men who didn’t finish high school, a third aren’t working. As a result of these trends, America today is pockmarked with neighborhoods where nonwork is the male norm."

To Mr. the Minister of Interior.

Day after day, evidence after evidence, and incident after incident are accumulating and you are doing nothing but accusing occult forces behind all these extremely dangerous events and machinations.

Early on, during your mandate, we saw in you a capable state man. Unfortunately, for you and for Tunisia in particular, we were wrong, and you brilliantly proved to all to be unfit for this mission. Not only that, you continue to insist on your metaphysical hidden hands arguments, mysterious hands working against the will of the state and the people.

Let me remind you that you are the only one with the power and instruments capable of unmasking these occult hands and pursuing them legally, and saving our Free Tunisia from blood shed!

I would love to convince myself and offer you another chance, for that is our nature, but the stakes are high, and the future of a our Nation is dangerously unclear, thus you are summoned to step down! The Free People of Tunisia.
