    Everyone shits on blue collar workers until their furnace stops working, their pipes leak, their car breaks, their roof leaks, their foundation cracks, the wiring in their house gives out… Shit, it’s almost like their work is integral to their jaded-ass day to day lives

      I don’t. I talk them up to my kids who are under 5 and considering both blue collar and science/academic jobs. I don’t really care what they do anyway, as long as they’re happy and making the world a better place. Manual labor helps me clear my head a lot.
