“Death isn’t so bad. If it happens, it happens. I’d be okay with that. If it doesn’t, and I get this job done, that would be nice too.”
M
I do not fear death, but I do fear being severely injured and the line between those two is way too thin for me to be doing shit like this.
I
At that height, you won’t have to worry.

There is a dude who was thrown out of a B-17 bomber at 20,000 ft, hit a train station’s glass ceiling and was taken as POW after surviving with some broken bones, damage to his lungs, kidneys and eye and a right arm that was nearly severed.
R
Dude I need a Wikipedia page for that.

Big thanks!

Death and chronic pain are both for life and often look pretty similar from the windup

This is what i always think when people say they are fine to “die the way they lived”. Like, i havnt lived in a hoslital with tubes up every hole for weeks on end and i dont want to die that way.
A
That’s kind of my life philosophy at this point
Z
That’s the sad thing is so many people pretty much think this way now a days. Society is fucked.
F
Always has been
W
Yes, but not to this degree.
F
Well yeah. It’s just gonna get incrementally worse until it’s over.
A
That pan down set off my fear response
C
No kidding. I thought it would be over water or or 20’ drop not that many floors!
G
He’s probably thinking he’d rather have better safety equipment but he can’t ask his boss for anything or he’ll be fired, or worse.
R
Yup https://www.walkfree.org/global-slavery-index/

Does a person that has committed a crime and is in prison and works count as a slave? It meets their definition.
H
Here ya go, Last Week Tonight segment covering this: https://youtu.be/AjqaNQ018zU?si=LZpK32ZeGCPu5XRn
C
what’s the tl;dw answer?
F
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, **except as a punishment for crime** whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. yes it’s slavery
T
The other part of that clause is “*nor involuntary servitude*”. So there is a distinction between the two. The primary distinction is that a slave is property of someone/some thing. Involuntary servitude is someone being forced to do a task or tasks. The ownership is a key distinction. Example: forcing your teenager to clean their room and take out the trash against their will is involuntary servitude, but they are not your slave.
C
Makes you wonder what’s the point of the incarceration system if the inmates have no hopes of reintegration when all they ever receive is abuse and a lack of protection from the authorities, on top of that if you want to do something while you’re doing time you get paid like 15 cents an hour. Might as well just kill them, what’s the fucking point on wasting money to make people worse? And i’d say “make the penitentiary system better” but we all know that ain’t happening in 99% of the countries of the world.
T
The primary failure of the US penal system is that it is a retributory style system (outright punishment and retribution for committing crimes) rather than a system meant to correct deviant actions and protect society. The goal of prison is to (temporarily) remove a bad person from society based on the rules of the society. The problem is as you point out, what happens after they are released? If prisons are making criminals into worse criminals then the system is failing the purpose behind its primary goal: to make society better. There’s a lot of reasons why the US system fails, and none of them are easy to fix.
L
> If prisons are making criminals into worse criminals then the system is failing the purpose behind its primary goal: to make society better. The US has tens of thousands of prisoners in for-profit prisons. Their goals are not aligned with rehabilitation or making society better, rather recidivism are their repeat customers. I’m agreeing with you and pointing out some aspects are worse as they are operating as intended.
Q
I’d also add that one of the failures of that system is it being used to gain profit, which makes the whole system lucrative for law makers and related businesses (construction, logistics etc).
C
People also dont like the idea of once youre out of prison you’ve actually paid your debt to society. Questions on job interviews asking if someone is a convicted felon, we have a sex offender registry with some states requiring people to inform neighbors when someone moves in, etc. Then add the jokes you can easily find on reddit about how for certain crimes the person “should be buried under the prison” or “dont drop the soap” or countless others.
I
It’s written as slavery in the U.S. Constitution…idk about other countries. Specifically, prison slavery is the only type that is still allowed.
O
Yes. Obviously, I’d say, but this will depend on individual morality codes / interpretation and/or country. In the US the constitution is pretty clear about calling their prisoners slaves.
C
Yep, plus if he falls and lives, he’ll be promoted to beggar.
S
Or worse, expelled.
T
Ive worked in a dozen low scale construction sites in south america (think less than 10 floor residential buildings) even if theres a building code and OSHA requirements, you’d be ASTOUNDINGLY SURPRICED how many of these workers dont want to wear harnesses when working in height because “its unconfortable”, even when they know stories of people falling and dying, just because they dont give a fuck and they rather be quick and finish. Ive begged framework guys to wear protective elements while working on balconies at 30ft above ground and be shrugged off.. Mostly its on the contractors end to make sure they DO wear protective measures but dont take for granted how stupid this people can get on their own..
U
Even a few more boards here would be safer, though.
O
Times are hard and prices are rising world wide. How can I be expected to give my people three boards when one will clearly do the job?
C
Two boards. He’s going for strength over width.
E
He wants to get paid. That’s what he’s thinking.
