True, but I think we need to change the culture to think manual labor as low grade. Mechanics who tell others to go to college has been told, "Someone who never graduated from school is telling others to go to school". Some ppl r raised to think having college degrees=high class

NPR and PBS receive $85 million a year, but Trump's golfing costs more than $100 million per year. Hard choices needed to be made.
My favorite thing about the ESPN analyst's Every Franchise's Biggest Mistakes list is that most of the biggest mistakes on it were decisions that ESPN analysts said would win championship or even dynasties at the time. espn.com/nba/story/_/id…
Imagine how hard this scene would’ve hit if Lex was blue and Clark faked his death to pursue music.
Imagine how hard this scene would have hit if they were childhood friends
