Now that the voices of the disenfranchised blue collar workers have been heard, what actually can be done to help them? I'm less worried about the accusations of racism, etc. because it appears to me a majority are voting because their livelihoods have been lost and, despite economics saying globalization will bring new jobs, they aren't showing up in the critical areas where they are needed. So, what policies can be…
1. I think degruglation in a lot of industries might help this demographic. I think his administration will make doing things in this society easier. My hope is his administration makes building that house easier. (I hope he come down hard on these little town/counties--that make doing anything complicated/expensive.). My hope is his administration will lift restrictions on the little guy. A lot of hope.
2. That's it, "I don't know either".
I do know the current status quo was unacceptable for a lot of "disenfranchised blue collar" workers. I'd be careful with the "blue collar" label. The typical IT guy is a blue collar worker. Most people in tech are just a body. It's a profession that doesn't have a huge barrier to entry; just like a lot of blue collar workers. It becomes so true once you hit 35. "On to the next self-taught young, hungry person." The eletism in this current, oh so changing industry, is hard to take some days. Every one of you should be saving money. The party doesn't last long. I'll get heat for this; I know too many former Programmers that are literally homeless.
3. My hope is if things don't get better, it's only four years. My hope is the senate, and house become democratic. We then vote for someone like, a less liberal Bernie Sanders. (This is my biggest hope.)
4. I'm leary much will change because money will still control politics. Keep up the heat Wikileaks.
5. So--we will see.
