Why do liberals look down on oil, coal, construction, trucker and manufacturing workers but worship Facebook and Twitter

I understand the ops post, our nation needs national resources and energy, almost all of them based in red states and all these cool tech companies arent really huge employers. The media makes icons of tech, yet alot of these south bay tech "giants" don't employ that many people. Almost none of them, only Wells fargo and HP, are in the top employers in America

Meanwhile, real wealth is being hoarded instead of shared. Democrat policies at work.

Technology also produces new jobs. That was my point.

LOL Yes, that's it.
