Born in Passaic, NJ. I reside in Tampa, Florida, where I constantly evolve into a better version of me while sharing my love with the ones who surround me.

I'll never delete this blog because I want my children to read it.
February 16 2010 · 07·59 pm · How a New Jobless Era Will Transform America

givemesomethingtoread:

The Great Recession may be over, but this era of high joblessness is probably just beginning. Before it ends, it will likely change the life course and character of a generation of young adults. It will leave an indelible imprint on many blue-collar men. It could cripple marriage as an institution in many communities. It may already be plunging many inner cities into a despair not seen for decades. Ultimately, it is likely to warp our politics, our culture, and the character of our society for years to come.
