How do we get our voices heard?
As a HENRY, how can we get our voices heard by those in power?
There has always been so much discussion on policy, tax and growth on this sub; can we actually do something about it?
On one hand, as a NRY, we don't have the means to influence policy through donations and the co-ordinated special interest group that big corporates / UWNHs have access to.
On the other hand, as people often with professional client facing jobs climbing the corporate ladder, we can't afford to go the populist route where people with very little to lose go, where they can afford to do outrageous things online (spread fake news or post outlandish things that go viral) or in real life (i.e. go storm the capital / massive protests / get arrested and become a martyr).
As someone who is climbing the ladder at a PE house, I go out of my way to not be political to maintain my professionalism.
Mathematically we are such a small part of the electorate for the elected politicians, we will always be a convenient target for blame, and I feel like my votes don't matter.
What can we do??
(Admins, I don't think this is a political discussion. It's not about a specific stance on a political issue, but rather how we can actually be represented. I hope this would be allowed.)
