      most people in trades are conservative, and mostly white people, with a side of hispanic groups. people wonder why more arnt going into the trades, likely they arnt hiring people outside of that political demographic.

        Yeah, I’m a straight married bearded husky white guy who has taken up carpentry as a hobby, and I have no interest in being part of that industry. I have a relative who is a trumper plumber and the culture fits him perfectly, lol.

        I’ve been a scientific monitor for construction projects and they will tolerate you, but you will mostly be excluded. I of course as bearded man from the South had an easier time than some of the younger women that were my coworkers. Of course they generally don’t like the monitors much, but they have clear preferences.

        Honestly the drama on a construction site is peak. These grown men are so petty and cliquey

      Love the downvotes, Lemmy is still confused that there are people who absolutely love and vote for Dickfingers McGee even after everything he has done

      This was literally 2 weeks ago:
