Which kind of tracks what I intuited about the CHIPS Act. It "in-sources" manufacturing jobs again, but these really aren't the type of manufacturing jobs that the non-college working class would be expected to ask the Democrats to focus on. These generally aren't the "shower after work, not before work" jobs that are used to illustrate the difference between blue collar jobs and others. If the majority of those working in the industry have an undergraduate degree or higher, this isn't a "populist" measure that centers working class voters as much as they might like.

Yes, and their push for EVs actually is...potentially costing blue collar jobs in places like engine plants.
