Taking a break from the #doomscrolling (stickycomics.com)
4 panel comic strip. Woman is mad looking at her phone. "I need a social media detox," she thinks" In the next panel she sees a flyer for Wood Shop and thinks, "Woodworking! Sounds perfect." In the 3rd panel she works a table saw. In the last panel, she looks proudly on what she's built, a guillotine.

A large number of foreign-born citizens is exactly "the kind of culture we are known for here in the United States"

Rep. Kat Cammarck: "Today, one in six people in the US is foreign born. That quite frankly is not sustainable to maintain a culture that we are known for here in the United States."

Blue Collar/Working Class has long since become an aesthetic to most. A guy who owns a construction company and makes six figures is working class because he wears work boots and jeans. A barista at a coffee shop is a member of the elite because Pronouns and Big City

All a straight white man has to do is grow a beard and put on jeans and flannel, and voila: he has automatic Blue Collar Credibility, even if he actually grew up with a trust fund.
