It all depends on your socio-economic circles, OP. Inequalities have been widening slowly and inexorably for decades, you just did not notice.

But now that federal white collar jobs have been cut, people on DCUM notice, because their livelihoods are on the line, or those of their relatives, friends and neighbors. The industrial towns of the north and manufacturing centers everywhere can tell you what it feels like when half the town is out of a job. This is why our current President was able to demagogue his way to the top - by playing on people's long-standing insecurities and resentment.

I grew up in a factory town; actually my entire office of Feds are from LMC backgrounds with similar poor towns in their history.

I think maybe just lawyer Feds come from UMC (to afford law school seems right) but for most Feds, they have been intimately familiar with the hardship of much of America — that’s a huge factor as why they pursued the stability of a Federal job. All my aunts and uncles were laid off by 55 and never had a professional job again. We were trying to avoid that fate, definitely sympathetic of it. [/quote]
