Now, she told me, blue-collar work is an oasis in the fake-email-job desert, with a newfound social cachet. In a survey conducted in late 2021, 67% of blue-collar workers said they believed the pandemic changed how people viewed their jobs, and 75% of white-collar workers agreed. AdvertisementNow, the economy is adding blue-collar jobs at a rapid clip. There is a tendency — particularly among white-collar workers — to look at blue-collar work through rose-colored glasses, to romanticize the hard work and skills it requires. The labor market hasn't completely reversed course; blue-collar jobs may be booming, but a bachelor's degree is still often a prerequisite for roles with high pay and numerous benefits.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans view college campuses as far friendlier to liberals than to conservatives when it comes to free speech, with adults across the political spectrum seeing less tolerance for those on the right, according to a new poll. More recently, a conservative Princeton University professor was drowned out while discussing free speech at Washington College, a small school in Maryland. Overall, Republicans see a clear double standard on college campuses. “The reality is that there’s free speech for everyone on college campuses,” said Fleisher, a linguistics professor at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. But as the nation has become more politically divided, so have college campuses, said Kristen Shahverdian, senior manager for education at PEN.

There is no evidence that former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she would “take half of D.C.” with her if she were to be indicted, contrary to an online claim resurfacing amid news of the indictment of former President Donald Trump. Clinton has never been indicted on any charge and there is no evidence of her ever having publicly made the statement in the meme, which has circulated since at least 2018. A Clinton spokesperson said in an email to The Daily Caller that she never made such a remark, according to a Check Your Fact article from 2020 (here). It started recirculating amid reports that former U.S. President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to federal criminal charges on June 13, 2023. There is no evidence Hillary Clinton made this statement.
