The only reason the unemployment is so low is because of how they measure it. They pull every trick in the book to keep that number down, mostly by figuring out ways to not include the vast majority of unemployed people.

It is pretty much just a "recently signed up for unemployment benefits" percentage these days.

FTFY

Literally salon.com

It is hardly surprising that men are more susceptible to the allure of reactionary politics, considering that it's much easier for men to romanticize the past than it is for women (or any previously oppressed or mistreated group, such as LGBTQ people). Patriarchy has long been the norm in Western and non-Western societies and cultures, and thus women are less inclined to feel nostalgic for some golden age in history when they were treated as second-class citizens.

Needless to say, in America there is another important factor that increases the likelihood of one adopting a reactionary political ideology: being white. This was evidenced in a recent Pew Research Center analysis, which found that although millennials are the most progressive generation (and lean overwhelmingly Democratic), white male millennials are more more likely to support the Republican Party.

Another analysis from the Washington Post provides further insight into this phenomenon, finding that white males are more likely to feel white vulnerability, or a strong perception that whites are losing ground to other groups through no fault of their own. This was demonstrated in one survey from GenForward Survey, which found that 48 percent of white millennials think that discrimination against whites has become as big a problem as discrimination against blacks, while 70 percent of Trump-voting millennials believe that discrimination against whites is as big of a problem as discrimination against minorities.

This victim mentality that many white men have developed today stems in part from what sociologist Michael Kimmel has called aggrieved entitlement, which he describes as that sense of entitlement that can no longer be assumed and that is unlikely to be fulfilled.

There are still many in this generation of men who feel cheated by the end of entitlement, Kimmel writes in his book Angry White Men: American Masculinity at the End of an Era. They still feel entitled, and thus they identify socially and politically with those above them, even as they have economically joined the ranks of those who have historically been below them.

One of the more disturbing and pitiful reactionary group to emerge in the digital age has been the incels, or involuntary celibates, who were thrust into the national spotlight last month after the terrorist attack in Toronto, committed by a self-described member of the Incel rebellion. The incel community, which congregates on websites like Reddit and 4Chan, is deeply sexist and misogynistic, and its members blame women for their inability to find sexual partners. Incels feel an aggrieved entitlement, and believe that women owe them sex. As one might expect, feminism is the bte noire within the incel community, and these basement-dwelling reactionaries long for the days before the sexual revolution and womens liberation.

Uhhh...I thought RDJ never actually wore a suit.

Like, wasn't it just a helmet, gauntlets and the rest was a CGI skin suit?

I've never seen pictures for Iron Man 1, but this was definitely the case for others.



Although I think there is a physical chest piece as well for real close up/non moving shots.

This is dumb and stupid and will probably end with open war against Iran, which would be dumber and stupider

Trump's admin wants war with Iran.

no but, Hillary Clinton sure did going back to her run in 2008.
