That sounds great in a very DIY kind of way, but go to anyone's workplace, show them how you can do it better and see how well that goes over. It makes even less sense when applied to other occupations. "If you have a problem with prostitutes, go become a prostitute and show them how to do it right."

Yes, it's easy to criticize especially without firsthand experience, but criticism comes with doing anything. People will have a problem with just about anything, thinking that their problem with it is a solution. Sometimes it is at least part of a solution.

It’s more to mean that most of America isn’t willing to die doing their job

Police die horribly quite a bit more often than, say, an accountant

It’s more calling America cowards. And I agree

Ah yes, America. A nondescript land of shut-ins, having no conflicts or controversial events to speak of.

Hey, I’m not dissing America. I think we’re the best country in the world. And I’m not dissing its people specifically, because the concept of self-preservation that makes someone tend to avoid jobs with some of the highest risk of horrible death is constant pretty much everywhere

the Chapo sub taught me to say "but what about garbage/sanitation workers?" in response to this claim, but I don't know if it's true. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
