Working-class American men are getting lonelier and sicker and their lives are shortening. It’s not just a sad state of affairs. It’s a full-blown crisis that demands policy solutions.

    …and until it’s bad enough for massive strikes, it will continue.

    The left’s job is to make this feeling into “working class men are not okay but now have a functional protest movement seeking to end the wealth gap permanently”.

    The problem is Trump is funneling this issue/disenfranchisement towards the aims of the wealthy and those who want to increase the wealth gap permanently.
