Union Carpenter. Local Landmark. Stories about me are probably true but I tell them better.

Every job I've been on every worker has Stop Work authority and we can tell an operator to shut it down if we notice anything(missing pads for instance) and not get in trouble. But I'm union so that might not be universal. I can definitely see more vulnerable people being afraid to speak up

Wind too. That's still human error because you don't agree to operate when conditions are bad

My kid's so obsessed with "Ghosty" I spent a week scouring bookstores trying to find one that featured her so we'd have a non-tv option

Kiddo loved one that had such a clunky rhythm and off rhymes. Found out the author is Australian and putting on the accent really fixed it

Lord of the Rings, only because I was 14 and it was my first ever date so it meant 3 hours of hover handing my arm over her shoulder

I used to commute through a big park and I'd count the groundhogs. Didn't take long before I'd concocted a whole new augury.
"I saw SEVENTEEN groundhogs! It's gonna be a great day, boys"
"Only one groundhog and I think he had rickets. Make sure you're wearing your PPE everybody"

Maybe it'll be like Doctor Who and time travelers will collect everyone's consciousness at the moment of death to bring them to their afterlife. And go similarly awry

I can't take anyone espousing that seriously. The tech-bros claiming they'll free us from work are the same jackals doing all they can to gut the social safety net. It kinda gives away the game

It's never going to happen the way they say it will and the more aware capitalists know that. It's just a useful cudgel to weild against labor.
Do you really think a whole-ass robot is going to be cheaper than the day laborers building your suburban development?

I remember the wave of 'Automation are coming for your construction job!!' and it would be a video of a robot hopping over a 2 foot gap then falling over or a bricklaying machine building a wall in an empty parking lot

I found a credit card in the parking lot and when I brought it to the station they interrogated me for 2 hours so I'm just dropping it in a mailbox next time

I remember the first time I saw cops with assault rifles in the subway, standing in a row blocking the map.
"Can you get to Herald Square from here?"
"I don't know"
"Then why are you here?"

Never noticed before but is Homer a wage-slave at $5/hour or salary with a financial penalty for days off?

I put up signs saying I was going to pick up trash along the river and 2 dozen punks showed up.

I went to 3 different places in succession and had more or less the same experience in all of them. They all just enter the part into the computer and do what it says. No one gets trained anymore
"Make and model of the car?"
It's a service cap. It's universal!
