why is male unemployment the most concerning thing to u?? they're the best off

[@LordBeef]

Probably because it’s a data point with better historical comparison value. Female unemployment has a higher chance to be a personal choice - a chance that increases the further back you go in history, when it was more normal for there to be one income earner in a household.

Similar to Alain de Botton. Uses to world’s best data to arrive at a series of bad policy recommendations.

[@LordBeef]

These are great policy recommendations. What are your problems with them?

Please stay at home, and don´t visit Denmark again. Or...please empty the country, build a 200 stories high living block, which is 1km on every angle, and move all people into that block..then no infrastructure is needed at all...fantastisk living conditions.
