Also worked in a factory that made office furniture had to operate punches, presses, brakes and all the other fun shit to make the furniture that can take an arm off, or take your life, and made o where near $28 an hour.
So them having a cunt hair of risk in their job and making a stupid amount of money for what is basically unskilled labour trying to justify it by saying 'they have a dangerous job' is well funny shit to me.

Hey, that's fucking funny.
My father has been in a wheelchair for nearly thirty years as a result of an injury he sustained working at a strip mine. Although industrial safety standards are improving all the time, accidents do happen, and when you work in an environment of heavy machinery, those accidents generally have greater consequences than a paper cut.
Didn't make more than $28 an hour? Should've joined a union, or your union negotiator sucked.
And "unskilled labor?" Without unskilled labor you would have nothing, zero, nada, unless you're growing your own food, making your own clothes, refining your own gas, etc., etc. "Unskilled labor" is essential for you being able to live like you do today. But they're just peons, right? Fuck 'em. Fuck the selfish bastards for trying to make a living. You can get by without them. Just wave a magic fucking wand, and all your basic needs will be provided for, and those crybaby peons can take a flying leap.
