Genuine question: is farming a blue collar job? My (possibly incorrect) image of farming is management of heavily industrialized processes, not of rolling up your sleeves.
- pjc50 2y agoCareful study of farming often reveals that it's a mix of landowners (rich on paper, possible cashflow problems) and workers (usually immigrant, often undocumented, in which case they're not voting at all).
- gadders 2y agoFair point. I guess it is more like managing, say, a building or plumbing firm. I guess what I should have said is "contempt for people outside of the laptop class" (and yes farmers may use laptops but you get what I mean).
- Jensson 2y agoHave you see any farmers with white collars? I haven't, they tend to wear working clothes even if they have lots of money.
