No doubt you CAN do that but not a lot of people want to do that

I've had the joy of doing framing and roofing for the past 3 summers and its brutal. That was my fathers big push was for me to go to college and get a degree so I don't have to do his job for the rest of my life. My dad has been doing the same job for 35 years now. He works 12 hour days and starts at 4 in the morning and its brutal on him, especially now that he's over 50. He makes decent money, nearly 75k a year but he doesn't wish this life on me.

No, construction is a nobel job but moving up is difficult and every contractor I've talked to during my 2 years in the lumber yard and doing delivers for them have all told me to get a job where I dont have to be doing what they're doing for the rest of my life.

When it comes down to it, construction kinda sucks and its taxing mentally and especially physically but yeah, you can do it for the next 40 years if you have to. Reminds me of the good will hunting scene

I'm not saying it's not hard. It loving is. No one where I worked wanted to be there. But it's not impossible. In order to succeed in anything you have to work hard. They say "work smart not hard" but in reality you have to do both in order to get anywhere. Thats just life

There's one guy who proved that it's possible to make tests that discriminate based on race or class or occupation via vocabulary, specifically to make this point about the SAT. He did this by designing tests about the same subject that various minorities scored disproportionately higher on.
So why shouldn't we care for the poor as the two most popular world religions suggest?

If you want to work at a soup kitchen or give your money to a homeless person you have every right to. It's when the government steals my money to give it to someone who hasn't worked for it that bothers me.

Religious people tend to give more to charity

Maybe the atheists should contribute more with their infinite wisdom or something

As for working for a living, what will we do when practically all manual labor is replaced by automation?
I actually made a tabard with a red cross. Funnily, despite representing the knights templar, England, St. George, and Sir Galahad, it was the French who wore red crosses in the Third Crusade, while the English wore white ones and the Germans black ones (or was it green?).

All I'm saying is it sure sucks ass when you're born and raised into a difficult environment and everything feels like it's tryna work against you then you're stuck in a stuffty ass construction job
By the way my arguments got nothing to do with race I'm just saying if you're born poor and in an underfunded school district things are a stuff ton harder for you

Actually, race definitely has a factor in classism. Black people come from a system that was meant to keep them in the lower class as well as other minorities.
