Met a safety inspector at some electronics factory in Charleston, SC, tonight in my hotel bar. He said he’s working 13-1’s. 13 days on, 1 day off and has done that for years. He said his first 3 days are 16-hour shifts.

Back home he works 7-16’s. 7 days on, 16 hour shifts every day. He said dudes back home just sleep in their cars on the job site.

He had a kidney transplant last year. $1.2M procedure. His son donated one of his kidneys. His co-pay was “only” $80k because he’s been with the company for 30 years. He takes 25 pills a day that costs him $1.3k/month and will do that the rest of his life ($15.6/year)!

Asshole is anti-union! He even said he worked three union jobs previously by refused to join the union.

He said this is “just life” and “you do what you have to do to live.”

How the fuck do people vote against our own interests?! Is he really living?! Jfc!
