Sure, and teachers nourish the foundations of our next generation. And construction workers, aren't they literally the backbone of infrastructure? The farmhands in the fields, the masses of immigrants, aren't they also part of the foundations of food? Do these groups have lots of clout?
What explains the variation in clout?
- spiderfarmer 6y agoIt think it's mostly because of disinformation campaigns rooted in ideologically motivated activism. Someone felt morally superior, convinced other people that they can be morally superior too and then it spread from there.
- nemo44x 6y agoI don’t really understand your context. Could you explain further?
- nemo44x 6y agoI wonder if it’s property ownership? I’m not sure. But their work certainly supports many small townships and economies and I imagine that’s worth something. To your examples I’d say maybe construction workers are more analogous to butchers. Cement and steel manufactures more to ranchers. Farm hands again, workers where as big Ag certainly has clout. Immigrants mainly can’t vote and once again, further down the supply chain and without property, so interchangeable. Not sure though.
