Whether it’s food production, transportation, building, or anything else, because leftists take it for granted and misunderstand it, they’re trying to tear it all down.
I’ve always been a fan of the prosperity created by Western civilization in general and the United States in particular. Indeed, I even created a website called Gratitude for America, where I write about American entrepreneurs who invented things like barbed wire and standardized shipping containers. But maybe there’s a downside to this prosperity because we’ve created a class of people (especially in government) completely disconnected from how the world actually works.
Cyrus McCormick, who invented the mechanical reaper, is the most important entrepreneur in human history. He basically untethered mankind from farming, one of the most dangerous occupations on earth. In 1831, when he invented the mechanical reaper, approximately 80% of the American population was involved in agriculture, and, in most places in the world, it was higher—in some cases, 95%.
SNIP
The reason those elites, the ones who seek to manipulate the public, get away with it is because a significant portion of the population believes them. And they believe them because of the division of labor-driven prosperity that McCormick unleashed.
Virtually the entire left in this country has zero connection with anything having to do with creating anything, growing anything, building anything, or risking anything. They spend their days pushing paper in offices or selling cappuccinos, if they work at all. Not only are few of them farmers, but few are truckers, lumberjacks, steel workers, plumbers, electricians, or entrepreneurs. Few have ever had to balance paying a credit card bill versus making payroll. Few ever risked their money and invested sweat equity to start a business.

Learning things is hard. Getting a SNAP card is easy.
Leftists must first destroy Western Civilization before they can implement their Communist dystopia.
Destruction IS THE PLAN!
Disconnected or just plain ignoring the obvious to benefit themselves? The first can perhaps be dealt with. The second will require actions that will be unpleasant. Quite unpleasant for them.

This is an excellent article. It explains much of our current predicament.
.
I believe that a kinetic response is required to resolve our current situation.
While mankind has enjoyed the benefits of specialization, it has not changed its makeup. There have always been people who will only wag their jaw for a living.
Now, mankind enjoys the benefit of people who specialize in beating others to death with the jawbone of an ass.
Bump
So far WE are letting these children destroy everything.
What do you think “Build Back Better” really means?
Leftists Disconnected From Work................They are inherently lazy.......................
“What do you think “Build Back Better” really means?”
Which goes hand in hand with “Fundamentally changing America”
Which is why they picked Joe. He’s good at destroying things.
Truly both should be required viewing in grade schools and high schools, after of course sex ed where they master putting a condom on a banana.
The How It's Made show demonstrates production -- amazing designs of products and the machines that make them. Robots everywhere. Incredible QA and checks on production. Augmented by amazing artisans and workmen who make it all happen, and faster than you can imagine.
I think if young people saw how much productive work is out there they would be drawn into it. Not to mention the trades and professions that often involve tiring physical and intellectual work.
Contrast the above with the experience of most American grade- and high-school students who are bored out of their skulls listening to Marxist teachers who can't boil water talk about how white males have screwed them out of a decent life.
Leftists disconnected from how things work are destroying everything because RINO’s , who are either compromised, or greedy, let them destroy everything.
Do they not know, or that is their desire?
It’s so easy, it’s a SNAP!
Who say leftists are disconnected from “how things work”?
They sure know how to rig elections!
