Do you ever imagine your pond is colored red, symbolizing the blood of millions of innocent lives taken by your industry?
Do you wonder how many of your industry's victims dreamed of having a nice, quiet, peaceful life by a pond?
The aerial work platform industry? Yeah I mean people do die working at height, I was there actually to help specifically prevent that, as I was a product safety engineer.
So yeah sometimes I think about the people who went home to their families at the end of the day because of that.
I literally said I wasn't in the defence division, never touched a defence product, and literally didn't even work in North America.
Then I told you I quit my job because I couldn't do it anymore.
And you're gonna come here and give me a bunch of shit for it?
I don't even have to guess, you're pretty obviously a rabid leftist. Which is fine, I am too. But don't you think it's funny how I know that just because of how absolutely fucking unhinged your comment was
Was the person you're responding to sincere? Fuck. I thought it was heavy sarcasm.
Sigh. The Internet has killed satire.
