My grandfather was a steamfitter who grew up in an orphanage but could recite Shakespeare and knew opera. The arts and culture can and should be for everyone.
My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.
I read a history of early 20th century socialism and it's crazy how much of it is just clubs doing art or reading books and trying to get miners and factory workers to do art and read books.

Does this make me a steamfitter?
I often think of policy work as essentially plumbing: The job is to know how pipes work so you can make them do their job better.

Dan Osborn is a Navy veteran and steamfitter who led the Kellogg's strike in Omaha. His average donor gives $40. He's beating a billionaire's son by 5 points in Nebraska. Remember his name.

We have a choice in 2026.
We can elect Pete Ricketts again, a billionaire who’s ruled Nebraska like a mob boss while working families fall further behind.
Or we can elect a steamfitter and Navy vet who’s spent his life working alongside Nebraskans, not looking down on them.

My name’s Dan Osborn. I'm a steamfitter from Omaha, Nebraska. I punched a clock in a factory for 20 years.
Now I'm running for U.S. Senate against Pete Ricketts, the son of a billionaire who had a Senate seat handed to him and has used it to serve his wealthy friends ever since.

If I remember correctly, my dad was among ~200 applicants for a job as steamfitter in Ann Arbor circa 1983 or 84. He got it.
Not bothering with that Atlantic people should want to be plumbers thing but just mentioning whenever one of the Good Blue Collar Union Jobs opens up in this city they get like 900 applicants
