How Are 7 Million Unemployed Men Actually Surviving?
Nicholas Eberstadt

Chris Williamson

Apr 13, 2023
Nicholas Eberstadt is a political economist, demographer, American Enterprise Institute scholar, and an author.

More than 7 million prime working age men in America are not looking for work, and each year that number continues to grow. Given that unemployment is at a massive low, why are so many capable men checking out of the workforce and don't intend on coming back?

Expect to learn why massive cohorts of men aren’t looking for employment, the repercussions of mass joblessness, how these men are able to support themselves, why they spend over 2000 hours a year on screens while smoking weed, the reason you haven’t heard about this issue before, what it does to men's mental health, the impact of women being the bread winners and much more...

A Narrative Short Film

DEAL OF A LIFETIME

ft. David Cross

Roland is shopping for burials, hoping to ease the costs of his parents' future funerals. He's a dutiful son, and he's also cash-strapped, thrifty and anxious, fearful of his mom and dad's demise and doubtful of his ability to pay for it all.

When he visits a funeral home, he attempts to negotiate a "buy one, get one free" deal for his parents. But the negotiations are fraught, barrelling Roland to a confrontation with his fears and perceived inadequacies.

Solo in Rural Pennsylvania

Peter Santenello

Aug 17, 2024
Central Pennsylvania, a place most people drive past or fly over. In all of my travels, this is one of the most mixed-up zones: post-industrial towns, Amish, abandonment, beauty, and optimism. It's a place you can talk to almost anyone and learn a lot when you stop to give it attention. Join me today as we dive deep into this gem known as Central PA.

At a turning point ...

The last reindeer nomads of Mongolia

| DW Documentary

Aug 21, 2024
They are known as the "reindeer people”. The Tsaatan live with their families and animals under extreme conditions in the north of Mongolia. This film is a spectacular journey into a timeless universe that miraculously still exists.

Long isolated from the outside world, the nomadic reindeer herders have preserved all the traditions of their ancestors. They practice shamanism and live in simple tents in winter temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees. They say they are happy to live like this. Free, in the midst of sublime and protected nature.

Their way of life is in stark contrast to western life. But the modern world has caught up with them. A few years ago, compulsory education was introduced for all children in the region. This raises questions for the Tsaatan. Should they protect their children from progress they consider harmful? Or educate them and give them the opportunity to integrate into today's world? The nomads know that they have to choose between their traditions and contemporary civilization, between freedom and comfort. The "reindeer people” are at a turning point in their history. Will the Tsaatan manage to preserve their traditions and way of life, even in the face of change?

This year, members of Generation Z, those born after 1997, are expected to outnumber baby boomers in the workforce for the first time. They bring with them, like past generations, different expectations, attitudes toward upper management and views on the importance of work in their daily lives. We hear from some of those workers and Stephanie Sy reports on the generational differences.

Another one defended the band’s lead singer, Corpsegrinder. “Gen Z discovering Cannibal Corpse and trying to cancel them is hilarious.
