    The ideal that “we’re all in this together” was replaced with the reality that the educated class lives in a world up here, and everybody else is forced into a world down there. Members of our class are always publicly speaking out for the marginalized, but somehow we always end up building systems that serve ourselves.

    I love how Brooks can talk about class without bringing labor into it. Just a great example of liberals missing the damn point.

    Then he goes on to talk about “open immigration” like that’s even close to what we have.
