“But many poorer, less-educated folks who have been left behind in the 21st century—the ones who have seen their wages stagnate, their opportunities for upward mobility disappear and their life expectancies shorten—are looking to disrupt a status quo that has not worked for them.”
Translation: The status quo has worked great for all us educated rich folks. So stick with it people, don’t let your lying eyes deceive you that the country is in trouble!
The Washington Post is still reliably “Progressive”.
I am hardly poorer or uneducated and I consider myself lucky that my wages have just kept up with inflation at best for the last 15 years as have many of my contemporaries. This isn’t just a poor or uneducated issue its the reality of the middle and upper middle classes as well
Actually way beyond merely "Progressive."
They are what I call Mipips.
