This from a Town Hall piece just referenced elsewhere, and right on the money:
“Ah, but you folks promoting the idyllic renewable energy future will still be the ruling elites. You’ll get to live better than the rest of us, enjoy lives of reading and leisure, telling us commoners how we must live. Don’t bet on it. Don’t even bet on having the stamina to read after a long day with your shovel or spoon.”
I worked for a family business once and the elder generation were fairly wealthy and would take a two month vacation every year. I heard the woman say one time; "Jack and I visit many places in the world and in a lot of places, the workers don't have big houses or cars and they seem perfectly happy. Why can't our workers be like that?" Emphasis on "our" that sort of conferred ownership. I heard another incident happened after I had left that place where during a company meeting with all the employees standing right there, she said to her son; "Because they're stupid. That's why we're the employers and they're the employees, because they're stupid" Not one employee walked out. I damn sure would have but I had already walked out months earlier.
That's pretty much how the "elite" think of us. Bunch of stupid worker types that don't deserve to drive a car or have a decent abode.
