I understand that part too. Part I don't get is why those workers choose to hate a certain set of inanimate objects, or concepts.Many blue collar workers in manufacturing and resource extraction are threatened as a country advances to a knowledge based economy.
You see the schism in the US where those jobs are exported to countries that are going through the early phases of economic development (China, India, Mexico)
They just have an abundance of supply.
We've set ourselves up well.
