  • Putting words in my mouth, making wild accusations, on top of being incredibly disrespectful elsewhere in this thread, nice.

    You can’t deny that both Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton are adulterers. Newt Gingrich accusing Bill Clinton of adultery is hypocrisy on Newt Gingrich’s part, because Newt Gingrich is an adulterer. That was the original point of the original comment. Saying a person does a bad thing is not the same as absolving them of all of their other transgressions, like you’re trying to so pedantically suggest. If you’d like to continue this discussion I’d be happy to, but if you want to continue to accuse and divert, I will not be replying.







  • The way I see it, there’s two options:

    1. Pay people more. 300k, 400k, 500k, whatever it takes. Surely there’s a number that people would feel is worth the risk. The obvious downside is that increases the cost of construction.

    2. Make the process of roofing safer - invent new safety gear or safety practices, automation equipment that can be operated from the ground, introduce legislation that encourages those practices or subsidizes the new equipment. The obvious downside is this requires upfront investment and cooperation between government and industry.

    Either way, the current practice of “throw cheap immigrant labor at it until it goes away” is not tenable.
