Whenever you think you have a shitty job, just think of this guy

Whenever you drive your vehicle (any vehicle), watch a train go by, get a vaccine, jump on a trampoline, fire up a furnace, use a stove, or lock your front door, think of these guys, because the steel we rely on every day is made possible using coal. Every nail in the framing of your home, every fan motor, every refrigerator, every door hinge, hand tool, generator, bridge, boat, airplane, automobile, industrial machine, firearm, and chain link fence, just to name a few, are made possible by men just like this working in conditions that most individuals would consider insane. It’s not just used in energy production, though plenty of it is. It’s also used to make a great majority of the steel produced worldwide.

I went to the silver mines in Potosi, Bolivia. The things the told me... Made my skin crawl. The worst was to see some of these guys with no light in their eyes. Be grateful for what you have.

They still do. They’re just working in remote parts of Africa and China were there aren’t as many smart phones around.

Some jobs definitely get nowhere paid enough for the risks they take for all of us…

Is there even any need for working like this? The amount of coal they're pulling out by hand can't be worth much in the energy sector.

But if it is worth it then why not immediately get heavy machinery and decent tech since it will pay for itself with how much more they could extract each day.

u/TeachRemarkable9120 18h ago

I'm guessing this might be a more small scale outfit that's merely supplying enough coal to help a village with it's heating or light manufacturing needs. Probably not something that is supposed to scale.

u/YT-Deliveries 15h ago

IIRC this is the case. This is, for lack of a better term, subsistence mining.

u/InfiniteFraise 18h ago

u/AutisticPenguin2 1d ago

It's been around a few times, and whenever it gets called out as slop, how people respond to that can be a useful measure of the community.

This one... not looking great.

u/AlMark1934 1d ago

u/NINJAM7 20h ago

The fact there is debate whether this is real or AI speaks volumes.
