For the many, there is a hardly concealed discontent.
The blue-collar blues is no more bitterly sung than the white-collar moan.
“I’m a machine,” says the spot-welder.
“I’m caged,” says the bank teller, and echoes the hotel clerk.
“I’m a mule,” says the steelworker.
“A monkey can do what I do,” says the receptionist.
“I’m less than a farm implement,” says the migrant worker.
“I’m an object,” says the high-fashion model.
Blue collar and white call upon the identical phrase: “I’m a robot.”
