the topic was the messaging of the "ladders of opportunity" metaphor, your reinterpretation for Trump is cute but irrelevant

It didn't dawn on me to infer "ladders of opportunity" to be some sort of victim blaming metaphor. Is that what you meant?

basically. if you have a bunch of people trying to get up a ladder, only some of them are going to make it.

Sure...if it's only one ladder. But "ladders" convey plural, none of HRC's plans were exclusive or limited. Opportunity for all.

when Fight For 15 is too rich for one's blood, one really makes quite clear how much opportunity we're talking about.

Fight for 15 is such a different topic, and not the panacea you make it out to be. There need to be GOOD JOBS, not $15-for-scut.

okay. Agreed. The jobs *I* used to get as a computer consultant now go to India. So I know... but it has to be a market-wide fix
