An interesting thing to observe is how people inadvertently reveal their true beliefs about things when talking about other things
curious what belief you are reading into his remark about bus drivers. I can think of several but curious which first popped out for you
-
-
I watched the actual video so I have a bit more context. It wasn't malicious, just sort of casually dismissive of the economic underclass
-
I got a bit of that too but I had another thought, which is that the comment is about pension benefits, which is a relic of a past era
-
an era where decades-long employment, union representation, and upheld social contracts was the norm. it isn't that way anymore.
-
and I can't help but wonder how much of that shade thrown at the underclass is really resentment of the ground falling out beneath us
-
getting decent pay in your 20s at the expense of sustainable living conditions for family and retirement seems like a bad tradeoff
-
not that I'm advocating a return to a system that is dated and unworkable in the current era, but I think there's more to this than class
-
Yeah good/interesting point There's a sense of, "what are you, a dinosaur?"
