Did it ever occur to blue collar workers that this “stigma” they keep mentioning isn’t caused by white collar workers but by far right media/politicians who use class division as a weapon? Most of these politicians went to college, very elite colleges and then had jobs handed to them. I don’t see how they can throw in two bits about an experience when they haven’t experienced it themselves.
As my father always said “unless you are a politician, an honest days work is still honest”.
