No. Like every issue on the table today, the United States is divided on how to deal with providing jobs for everyone, including jobs associated with manual labor.
Some want to drive the businesses that provide the jobs out of the country by sucking them dry with taxes, and put those workers on the public dole, while others want to create a healthy environment for businesses to grow.
Some wish to continue in providing state and government contracts to union (or labor) workers, knowing they will milk the job and stretch it out as long as possible, in some cases bankrupting the funds available, (as in the California railway). Others wish to create a realistic budget for government projects and stick to it.

@Platoscave Again, regarding our humanity or lack thereof, we are divided in government There are those who are so overly concerned with humanity that they make incredibly stupid choices in how to address same.
Then there are those who seem not to care about humanity, but can see a bigger picture and want to provide long term solutions that may actually do more for humanity than the emotion-based quick fixes.

@Platoscave I don't see anywhere in my paragraph, above, where I said, "Most of us are emotional." Nor did I say that I am a teacher. You are certainly entitled to your opinions.

@4meAndyou ok
but you talk like you are personally uncommitted either way.
and most of us are bloody hopeless MORONS when it comes to realizing our
democratic rights such as they still are. Our rights in the workplace INCLUDED.
We can call and write and meet and organize.
we don't have to wail and gnash our teeth...
but stick around here long enough
and you get the feeling that none of this matters, as long as we can entertain ourselves while Rome burns
more of everything else
down
some more.

@Platoscave I have a great deal of commitment and some very strong opinions, but I have found through sad experience that I can not hear what others wish to say if I alienate them by airing said opinion. I value learning, above all else, and I value my explorations of all of our issues as a country.
Rome will burn if mad men are allowed to rule.
