— Biden: Trump has ‘no idea’ about working-class struggles – AP (DIERSEN: One could compare and contrast how Biden got his 1967 Corvette with how I got my 1972 Corvette. Biden’s father gave him his Corvette as a wedding gift. SEE: https://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/21/joe-biden-gets-rare-permission-to-drive-his-67-corvette-proceeds-to-burns-rubber.html My father died suddenly in 1969 2 years before I bought my Corvette in 1971. I paid for my Corvette with an insurance settlement that I got for my stolen 1969 Dodge Charger SE and with money that I a) earned working full-time for IRS starting in 1971, b) working full-time for Firestone Stores 1970-1971, and c) working part-time for Firestone Stores 1971-1972. The money to pay for the Charger and for previous cars came from what I earned doing yard work and delivering newspapers 1962-1964; washing dishes 1964-1966; cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline in 1966; delivering mail 1966-1969; and working on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970.)
