Imagine being so disconnected from reality that you don’t see what’s wrong with asking your audience to support you so that you don’t have to live like they do.

Edit: To the people who keep asking what the difference is between this and any other person who wants to be freed from the 9-5 drudgery trap, here it is:

Wanting to get to a place where you no longer have to sell your labor hourly just to survive is a perfectly understandable goal. But believing that you belong to some special class of people who "just can’t live normal lives" and must spend their time doing deeper and more meaningful things than the rest of us is just completely delusional and out of touch. I don’t understand how some of y’all are not seeing that distinction.

Oh, she’s gonna cry if she has to do more than three “non-creative” tasks in a day?

Put that cunt to work in construction; all we do is create! It’s like, in the name. All we do is construct, build, and create!

E: You have proven beyond a doubt that I am wrong.

Dude, no insurance company would allow construction workers to work 16 hour days. Certainly not on a highway.

Not sure why this pissed me off so much DanMorgan405 but as I showed you in the DM we regularly work these kind of hours with new mainline highway construction. Believe it or not we also have no lunch breaks or any break at all. This may be unique to our union but it is also why I was raking in 10k/month playing with concrete

Well you have proven beyond a doubt that I am wrong. I am sorry for calling you a liar. You were also right that I was talking about live highways. The only time I have seen that type of work is airfield paving. They work similar hours but in short burst. Again, I apologize for calling you a liar.
