Really, really, hate that the Workers are uniting on their own without having the intellectual vanguard leading them.
Note that this person, Juliette Kayyem, is very much one of the elite.
Married to a Federal Court of Appeals judge no less, and she was Obama's Assistant Secretary for Intergovernmental Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security and is currently the Senior Belfer Lecturer in International Security at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, where she is Faculty Director of the Homeland Security Project and Security and Global Health Project.
She also presently serves as a CNN National Security Analyst.
So she's allegedly one of your betters and an "expert" on national security.
Yet, she doesn't know that draining gas from truck tanks and slashing tires results in trucks that are really difficult to move. She also does not know that that slashing a tire filled to 120 psi is really not a smart idea for the slashee's health - but could be fun for the rest of us to watch.
Obama really had the smartest people working for him, now didn't he? And CNN and Harvard has her now - make of that what you will.
Meanwhile, the intellectual vanguard has managed to drive inflation to its highest rate in 40 years, with no signs of stopping, further harming the very workers they claim to champion.

It would be interesting to look back in time and see when it was that the term "elites" began to become widely used in the US to describe the politicos, Ivy Leaguers, etc. To my recollection, it was NOT a phrase used to describe Americans when I was growing up. But then again, I was raised to believe in such mundane concepts as faith, courage, truthfulness, honor, chivalry, perseverance, hard work,, honesty, equality, generosity, mercy, dedication and duty. All things that would likely make the "elites" of today break out in a cold sweat.
The ELITE that I grew up respecting were engaged in several other types of jobs - usually dangerous ones.
Solutions are easy when ignorance reigns.
Yeah, go ahead and do it that way... LOL
