Clever labor worker chastises modern tradesmen who reject safety protocol to seem cool: 'I don't care what your grandpappy used to do... I'm trying to not destroy my lungs'

Technology progresses as humanity moves forward. Buildings get taller, tools get stronger, safety equipment gets better, and construction workers get more stupid? …Wait, what happened there? While the world of construction moves forward, somehow there is a growing trend that laborers look much cooler if they don't factor their safety into the job site. Sure, many labor guys are strapping young chaps, but after a lifetime of inhaling cement dust, getting harsh chemicals on their skin, and dangling from a high-rise with no safety harness, they will be worse for wear. 

A clever laborer recently lamented over the foolishness of modern tradesmen, chastising the growing trend of seeming cool by rejecting safety. Just because your grandpa never wore gloves when handling hazardous materials doesn't mean that we have to do it that way too! We have technology! Scroll for the entire commentary between the cleverest guy on the job site and a few sympathizers who put up with bullying and peer pressure all because their coworkers think it's cool to skip out on safety.
