Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

How many just want to keep being able to afford domestic help by being able to underpay them?

Observe how libs talk about Hispanic immigrants vs the South Asian immigrants who are not in blue collar fields

Care to explain? I'm not American

Technology, healthcare, sales usually gains more respect than janitorial and custodian work, architects, engineers, project managers more respect than roofers, framers, tile workers.

Both are exhausting, one more physically, the other more mentally, but both require a lot of energy.

I'm going to tell you though, if you've never watched a brick mason's laborer tossing three or four bricks at a time to a mason on a scaffold with grace, in 37-40° heat with 90% humidity for 10-12 hours, six days a week, that's plenty to respect, idc how much they spend on whatever to be able to do it. The same for the stop sign flipper in varying temps for the asphalt layers. Or the tile worker running a water saw in 0°.
