He argued the increase in single-person households also is exaggerating income inequality in the U.S.

“While they have less household earnings than married people, they also have fewer expenses, especially if there are no children in their households,” Yardeni wrote.

Perhaps the dumbest thing I've heard an economist say in many years.

Single Americans aren't contributing to income inequality, but alleviating it. Number one reason for being single: you're too poor to marry. You have a life that you like and you're not going to risk your entire future to take on a bunch of freeloaders. Welcome to MGTOW. Single people are therefore the last great hope of middle America to not be completely drowned out by the top 1%. Marriage, on the other hand, is sinking the middle class.

Welcome to the advantages of modern society, its a game that actually favours men, women's value as a partner (in general terms) is easier to consume elsewhere than the reverse.

Or in other words, sex is easier to consume and source elsewhere than a relationship/commitment.

Modern man has no real incentive to marry and nothing but disadvantage to marry.

Why lock your life into a contract when you get nothing out of it?

16 and up? I wonder how the numbers are trending for 24 and up. I'm very pro-marriage, but if we've convinced people to DELAY marriage until they are educated and their brains have fully developed, that's probably a good thing.

I'm in my mid 30s and when I was younger I really wanted to get married and have kids. As I've gotten older, I've realized that is truly a blessing in disguise to be single. I'm able to go and do whatever I want and I don't have someone standing over my shoulder stopping me.

I think in the right circumstances, I would get married and have kids. But anymore it just seems like the women that are single are looking for sperm donors with bank accounts.

Hilarious comment:

...men get custody at way higher rates than women due to the father's rights movement-yet probably didn't help nor want to be bothered with the kids while married-funny huh? And let themselves go? Ya ok-you have all the babies and see what you look like-it's guys like you that keep women single and independent rather than dealing with chauvenistic pigs like yourself bald headed fool...you said it yourself

Wow. I had no idea the father's rights movement was so damn successful and influential.
