Michael Sandel on How to fight populism

I think that he makes a pretty compelling case for what causes populism (a shift to demeaning those without college degrees) and its solution (reinforcing policies and values that recognize the dignity of labor).  He borrows MLK Jr's analogy that garbage collectors prevent more diseases than doctors and should be recognized for their efforts.  Not with money, but with respect and acknowledgement.

Depends, really.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

I wonder if the person on the left considers themselves a "real man". They're wearing diapers after all.
