This made me chuckle out loud "Now it may seem as if I’m taking their side—but every time I’m tempted to do so, some damned thing gets in my way. "

I found myself alternating between agreement and exasperation in this typically provocative essay from my friend Tom Geoghegan. But there's a lot here, I think, about the Knowledge Economy and the politics of college that are on point.https://newrepublic.com/article/156000/educated-fools-democrats-misunderstand-politics-social-class …

"the party’s new highly educated base" I spent a year at college and dropped out due to the amount of debt I was piling up even at a state school. "highly educated" is incredibly generous based on what I saw. The problem is our HS graduates are *under* educated.

My physics class retread the exact same concepts as my 7th grade science class. But now I was paying $100/credit hour. Maybe if our public education system produced an educated public, employers wouldn't feel so much need to see a degree on every resume for every position.

But, what if America DIDN'T need to profit from EVERYTHING? What if we saw educating our children - all the way thru college/university/community college/technical training - as something we do for ourselves, not our pockets? Our problem is cultural first & foremost.

OK, but if he talks about mid-century professionals not going to college he's got to acknowledge that as late as the 70s only 10% of adults had college degrees https://www.statista.com/statistics/184260/educational-attainment-in-the-us/ …

I’ll take Geoghann seriously when he himself moves to Mount Greenwood or some other neighborhood like it to live with his beloved WWC. Until then, he can FO.

A lot of truth here. I'm always horrified at the "college for everyone" narrative. Do these people not understand how many people HATE being in school and find the prospect of more school horrifying?!? Might as well campaign on the promise of liquid cod liver oil for everyone.

I don't agree w/all of it, but I do agree w/the gist of it, particularly this but w/a twist: "What the working class needs is not only a redistribution of income, or even a redistribution of power. What they need most of all is a redistribution of work." Work that's respected.

Progressivism is now the belief that the more advanced degree a person has the better leader they ar. It's not hard to figure out why that message doesn't resonate with working class voters. Also why Warren has struggled to catch on with the same voters despite her Yuppie stans.
