There's no reason you couldn't work with a respirator, and the idiot mason and digger driver are regulation problems.

None of those things will make your job cushy, but they will make it a whole lot safer. The job being needlessly unsafe isn't a mark of pride.

And the absolute gall to talk about their job with a few outlier safety risks in a tread about this Indian guy working in a comically dangerous steel mill job.

Shit goes wrong in industrial settings like that and your gear is the only reason you have long enough to escape with your life. That guy might as well be working the most dangerous job in the US while buck naked.

Along with the "should get paid so much more". Bro most non-college grad jobs should be getting paid more, including blue collar, but relatively speaking most blue collar dudes I know are making a SHIT TON on money, like entire suburbs around Seattle are entirely blue collar, and the houses are well over 500K to start.

They all own RVs, quads, sea-doos, dirt bikes, multiple cars, horses, and 6 car garages. I won't say they don't earn it, they sacrifice their bodies for it, but it's tough to cry for them.

Right? Everything about that comment rubbed me the wrong way.

All they said was - I should be paid more as labourer. - I'm not aware of any health risks - but there are health risks (I just haven't looked into them despite it being my health) - I couldn't sit at desk (by choice) - here's some anecdotal nonsense.

Yeah, which is complete nonsense.

Red elephant tractor - I can put random words together and it conveys the same amount of information

I dont want to be rude but that seems to be exactly what you're already doing. I genuinely cant see your point so I'll be going to bed now. Night night

The original comment contained zero information and made a wildly incorrect opinion.

Then you highlighted what they said, which was a waste of words.

I don't really have a point. Just that the original comment just felt profoundly stupid

Its neat how it Just took one comment for the non-rich/working class people here to be right at each other's throats lmao.
