The amount of literally very unsafe hazards (like, potentially immediately fatal) I have been exposed to at my minimum wage retail store job – demanded of me in the most automatically angrily entitled way imaginable – is truly insane. The fact that we live in a society (US) where people in your own family will become angry with you, and fight you and bully you and try to make you feel like less of a man for not tolerating it emotionlessly and voicelessly, is equally insane. And people say “ohh report them to this, report them to that” – the thing is, I’ve done things like that before, and we live in such a work-oriented culture that even the boards dedicated to that sort of a thing don’t care to regulate things/punish as much as they should. They go “yeah wow, that is unsafe, have that fixed by the year 2075 or else we’ll fine your bajillion dollar corporation 100 bucks!” And nothing changes. And you’re only alternative is starving. Fuck this nonsense.
