Admission 1: This is random.
Admission 2: And maybe only related to writing stories somewhere in the as-yet-unexplored areas of my allegedly normal psyche!
Reading today about the increasing lack of participation of males aged 18-54 in the workforce, I ran across the term "NILF" - Not In Labor Force. It means those who are neither working nor looking for work. For women, most of these are engaged in child care or household duties, but for men, they seem to be mostly engaged in screen-based activities.
That's an interesting topic in itself, especially for those who believe that a post-scarcity economy we'll result in many people taking up new hobbies, doing creative stuff, helping their communities, etc. Seems like a lot of guys are going to play video games, and even that may be better than doom scrolling through social media.
Anyway, my head came up with NILFs vs. MILFs. I'm not sure why I thought "vs." which suggest some kind of confrontation instead of "and" which might suggest cooperation, but that was the first thought that popped in my head.
Anyway, the rhyming sound and the image of a bunch of NILFs with easy access to a load of MILFs set off a "story alert"in my brain.
Anybody else?
