  Again, in this scenario you are making a claim. I am not making the claim that ageism does not exist. You are claiming it is the reason for your unemployment. My rebuttal is that the available data surrounding unemployment does not substantiate that.

  If I claimed ageism does not exist, it would be a falsifiable statement. You could give any example of ageism. However if I claimed ageism exists, it just isn’t why you can’t find a job, how would we test falsibility? How could I observe the reason why you are unemployed?

  think you’re repeating things you don’t understand yet.

  I think you are forgetting who originally made a claim?

      Says the person who didn’t know the unemployment rate included people looking for jobs…

      What you want to look at is at people who are looking for a job

      This you?

        Yes, first: let me congratulate you on your perseverance throughout the day on this topic.

        Second, I did acknowledge that my first link was lacking exactly what I said we needed to establish bias, so I provided a study demonstrating exactly that: bias against older workers in the job application process.

        Third, talking to you has been entertaining because you do offer a convincing simulation of thought, but the more I talk to you, the clearer it is that it is only a simulation and now I am done. Good day.
