Very 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.

I want to believe that will happen but, as usual, these people aren't looking out for the country, just their own butts, and they plan on staying in politics and don't want to burn any bridges. I'm doubting anyone would be as brave as a superhero and stand up for what is right.

I just hope those that are protesting don't cause any damage or trouble. It just makes things worse for everyone. :\
