3 times higher than national average for fatalities.... based on the bureau of labor statistics, but sure, tell me again I have a safe job. You recognize not being the MOST dangerous doesnt make it not dangerous right?
Your job remains statistically safe. Calling it “dangerous” isn’t accurate.
Your argument is like saying flying is more dangerous than other travel because you die more often when there’s an accident.
You're trolling or genuinely a very stupid person.
My statements are accurate and please miss me with the ad hominem attacks…they’re not a substitute for an argument.
In the US around 30 people a year die from chainsaws. Because that number is small compared to other hazards, chainsaws are safe and not dangerous. This is your argument, do you see that, at all?
Yes. Chainsaws are very safe…if you get a newer chainsaw you basically have to intentionally injure yourself with it.
Seems like this is a pointless argument about potentially dangerous vs statistically dangerous.
I’ll concede that you’re paid well because all the training you receive to make your dangerous job safe puts a premium on labour in your sector. Better?
I’m trying to stick to your original question, though: the most (statistically) dangerous jobs under capitalism aren’t very well paid - relatively (like resource extraction), and under communism all jobs aren’t paid the same.
You've confirmed for me that I can't learn anyhing from you, good luck out there.
Thanks for the bad faith exchange a la Reddit. Nostalgic. Some people just want to pick fights and be jerks, and there’s nothing I can do about it.
