Ponderings

 

I am not a political person, yet I have a fair amount to say about politics.  First of all, it is a necessary EVIL and second once you accept the fact that ALL POLITICIANS LIE, then it is easy to deal with them critters.

My favorite politician of all times was JFK and even he lied mostly because he claimed national security but really because he was just wealthy and perceived himself differently.

Most politicians, except for maybe AOC, who was a bartender, do not understand the working class.  Even AOC during her short time in congress has become wealthy and is changing.  Politics will do that to you.

The working class use, as their budgets, their monthly wages, making sure through trial and error, they seldom if ever, exceed that monthly income.  If that happens that is a trigger to either cut back or work a second job.

The working class does not like being the working class but they accept that they are the working class and try to make to best of what they have.  Some want more and try to achieve getting there, while others simply waiting for raises that allows them to buy more.

The working class does not really sit around the kitchen table shooting the shit about politics.  They talk about their jobs, their bosses, their spouses, local athletics, college athletics, and professional athletics... and sometimes about the musical group that might be coming to town soon.

The working class that lives in the south and perhaps the Midwest, talk about the upcoming County Fair and what they liked about it last year that they hope will be here again this year.

I'll never forget the fair I went to in Knoxville, TN and watch a Steppenwolf concert for free, except for the fair tickets.  I also had fried sausage and cabbage along with a funnel cake and felt like I needed to go the ER later and get my stomach pumped...  lol

The working class is exactly what the words say it is, the working class, and they don't really concern themselves with politics...  they just concern themselves with living and having a good times with family and friends doing what is not very expensive.

The working class very seldom watches the news because it mostly does not pertain to them unless there is a local shooting or a bank robbery.
