orangerfulVery interesting read from the Harvard Business Review - What So Many People Don't Get about the U.S. Working Class?
Biggest issue is they forgot to say WHITE working class right upfront but otherwise, I found this fascinating and a way to try to understand what was going on in their minds. I don't agree with their decision to support Trump, but the first steps to fixing any problem is understanding both sides, right?
And, of course, these are not the only people that voted for Trump, but this is the group getting the bulk of the blame.
Decent comments too! I mean, some people are just angry, but others have good points about the article, other issues, and where they disagree but still relatively civil!
I've added a safety pin to my work lanyard as a silent protest and a nod to anyone who feels unsafe in these times.
