    Find some actual working-class people who are working right now & see how many of them tell you that people sitting at home collecting unemployment should go get a ****ing job. You'd be surprised how many have that view.https://twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/status/1392126314468057091 …

    The "working class" GOP's line: If UI benefits are competing with low wages, UI is the problem! Even conservative populists Rubio and Hawley are echoing this line. This supports @EricLevitz's point that the populist base is mostly small business owners: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/05/11/jim-banks-gop-spin-liz-cheney/ … pic.twitter.com/uOiZdT1QO1

        Working-class voters are - I know this may surprise some people - diverse in their political opinions, just as are rich people, upper-middle class people, middle-class people, & poor people. What both parties need to do is recognize a seat at the table for them.

        Just like if you ask a lot of people who immigrated here legally, they’ll tell you people need to get in line and follow the rules.

        If you look at the actual data it would imply there isn't the labor shortage people keep talking about. The number of hours worked by existing employees isn't increasing and is still lower than pre-pandemic numbers.

        I work in construction and can verify this sentiment is held by even <gasp> union laborers. Sorry to burst your bubble.

        Instead, find their employers and ask if they’ve increased new hire wage rates and have also matched that for the current staff.pic.twitter.com/sziaqWp8eN

        Is it stating the obvious that, regardless of your socioeconomic class, if you’re not working, you are by definition not a “worker?”
