They wrote, women marry young.
Obviously, that makes sense.
It's Orthodox Jewish community.
and they remain in the village to raise their families, and according to religious structures, do not use birth control.
As a result, the median age, under 12, is the lowest in the country, and the household size, nearly six, is the highest.
Mothers rarely work outside of the home while their children are young.
Most residents raised as Yiddish speakers do not speak much English, and most men devote themselves to Torah and Talmud studies rather than academic training.
Only 39% of the residents are high school graduates, and less than 5% have a bachelor's degree.
Several hundred adults study full-time at religious institutions.
So the argument or I guess the concern that the New York Times was laying out about this community is that some of them are choosing not to work and instead pursue theological studies instead while simultaneously using taxpayer dollars to supplement that income that they are forgoing while having these huge families that they need to support.
So in his video, Tyler went on up to upstate New York to see if that was accurate and to ask community members the question, how does everyone afford these huge families?
And as he's going around this town and interviewing people, he finds that most of the men that he is speaking to do not work because they are studying the Torah.
And so they are single income families, either relying on welfare or on the mothers working.
So just watch this compilation from that first video.
Some people were angry because they thought it was anti-semitic but most people were just angry because much like with the Somali fraud and everything that Nick Shirley exposed, just like normal everyday hard-working American taxpayers who play by the rules and do everything right are simply fed up with people
from all different backgrounds, all different races, who gamify the system and who benefit from their hard work.
Like that is what people are upset about.
Somebody commented on that YouTube video and said, I am literally being ripped off by everyone in this country.
And I think that that is the whole point of Tyler and Nick's content.
Like they are exposing that we are getting ripped off by everyone.
