The inequality of dignity is huge. That's a focus of my next article here: Democrats need to become the party of small business. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a newly elected representative from a rural district in Washington State, wants to refocus some of our resources back into core training so that we don't have to wait seven weeks to get an electrician to fix our wiring. Part of Fetterman's appeal in Pennsylvania was related to what you're talking about.
Dems should get shop classes back into public schools and provide tax incentives for people launching small businesses. A lot of people want to work with their hands. Dems should be helping them do that.
Thanks for the read - I always enjoy your articles.
