Maybe that I went into a blue collar profession, but that I make such obscene money doing it.

You’re right, and the majority is wrong. Enjoy the next election. Don’t change a thing, you’re perfect how you are.

There you go not listening again, even to the point of saying what people are experiencing isn’t happening.

So let’s say it’s not happening. Why do so many people feel that way?

With all due respect, I live in the Midwest and run with some rather blue-collar people in a completely blue, large city.

Everyone feels as though the Democrats have stopped listening to them and have been yelling at them for the last 10 years.

And just the mere fact that you are probably going to have the knee jerk reaction and call me an ignorant bigot is part of the problem.

The Care Bear Stare got him.

I’d rather miss some content (or rewind if possible) than hear an ad.

Did you just do the “if you don’t have anything to hide, what’s the big deal” move?

I want privacy. That’s all.

No idea. I installed a VPN on my router to get privacy. That’s all I ask.

I have a router with a VPN. I’m not disabling that just to post on lemmy.world.

I got off lemmy.world because they block VPN connections. Not happening, under any circumstances. I don’t trust anyone that much.
