It doesn't work like that tho'. The only reason men want steady jobs is to raise families. It's the genetically-programmed provider instinct. If that is being blocked then men will revert to aggressive competition. We're all mammals.

You really think that.
It didn't occur to you that a man would want a steady job because: - he loves it?
- he enjoys the freedom that it provides to participate in hobbies
- he loves the time he spends with his coworkers
- each day brings something new and exciting? ...
I have a steady job and each of these things is one thing I love about it.
How do you suppose they are going to get to the west? swim (to the East)? walk over mountains (to the West)? I have heard this "use the surplus males for war" theory several times. The "too many males part" adds up, but the rest does not.
Far more likely, is to use the 32 million man surplus for domestic infrastructure projects, which is what they are already doing.
