Great. I just needed a reminder of how stupid these events and how uninformed their followers are.

Moving 10 cement bags per hour wore him out??? My teen daughter can do better than that. Snowflakes should NOT do construction work. Let them arrange flowers or bake cookies.

They forgot to simulate the foreman doing nothing but yelling and threatening rodriguez while he reduces material and cuts safety specifications to make up for it

Muscle tears because he moved 34,000 pounds of gravel in two weeks?? Pah, back in my day if you were carrying less than 300 pounds of concrete on you at all times, working 24-hour shifts, getting kicked repeatedly in the balls, having cigarette butts burned into your bare skin, and stacking four packs of concrete bags on your back while climbing a hundred flights of stairs every day, you were only considered working a half day. Standards have fallen, it's now just soft hands that don't know the meaning of hard work

If you do the math, Rodrigo made less than $3.00/h. That is… if the Onion decides to pay him.

The funniest part to me was the “10 cement bags per hour”
Like that’s a lot. lol
It wasn’t even like mixing and pouring them….just carrying them. 😂

The only unrealistic part of this is seeing the worker slow down or show weakness no matter how messed up his body gets. The other workers tear you apart if they see that on site.
