NineShift 2019 Predictions. #1 Some 100,000 More Young Men Will Die This Year

Some 100,000 more young men will die this year than usual. The cause: college denied. 

The death toll is staggering.  The Center for Disease Control (CDC) says the number is so huge that life expectancy is now going down in the U.S.

The extra 100,000 deaths last year, and now this year, is more than the death total in World War I.   It will be 4 times more than the death total in the Vietnam War.

The CDC says the reason for the increase in suicides, drug overdose and cirrhosis of the liver is "despair." 
Other surveys show that the despair is from a lack of access to a college degree and the resulting lack of employment opportunities.  

The CDC confirms that the death toll is twice as high among high school grads than college grads.  Every year 2.4 million smart, let me repeat Smart, males are denied entrance to college.  That's hitting around 17 million now.  Others get admitted, then colleges deny them graduation.

K-12 schools and colleges refuse to admit smart males based on what they know, have learned, and their test scores.  Smart males denied college test at the same or even higher level than college students.  Schools and colleges insist on grading based on gender-based characteristics and behavior totally unrelated to knowledge and workforce performance. 

Society is already suffering the consequences: lack of a skilled work force, not enough STEM workers, reliance on foreign boys with college, and the costs of the discrimination in violation of Title IX.   No end in sight, either, as the Department of Education predicts males will actually decrease as a percentage of college grads well into the future. 

Stop the deaths. Stop the sex discrimination. Admit smart boys into college, then graduate them.

Rebel, your view, shared by most professors, was true in the last century, the Industrial Age of factories. The data proves that.

But in the 21st century, the U.S. Census data and other research all confirms:

1.College graduates earn more than trade school grads, almost $1 m. more.

2.Trade school grads actually earn more by living in communities with More, not fewer, college grads.

3.College grads - - accountants, web designers, etc. create jobs for trade school grads. Plumbers do not create Web Design jobs. Web Site designers create jobs for plumbers.

4.The economic prosperity, and quality of life is higher for Everyone in society with more college grads.
