> Want to hear a bigger disconnect? Most jobs we need to maintain our standard of living are blue collar jobs. Think waste disposal, plumbing, carpentry, textile, farming, transportation, etc... By contrast most white collar jobs are unnecessary fluff mostly dedicated to producing luxury goods, bean counting, or high-tech entertainment. About the only white collar jobs we need to live well are medical personnel. You don't even need to think that hard. Remember 3 years ago, when only "essential workers" had to physically go in to work anymore? That's pretty much why.
