The real people who hold our civilization together are the maintenance people. If it weren’t for them – pumping water out of subways, painting bridges to keep from rusting, fixing a steam pipe that is 70 years old – we’d be sunk. If we got rid of all the politicians and the policymakers in the world, the world would keep going. If you get rid of maintenance people, the whole thing breaks down.
