>>507123431This is a lie. My boomer grandfather was a ditch digger for DOT, a coal miner, a long shoreman, and a railroad track worker driving spikes into timber all day with a maul. Then he did roofing for ten years. He said it was godawful hard work, but there weren't
a lot of cushy jobs back in the 70s and 80s. I doubt anyone from my generation would be willing to do that kind of work. In fact, Boomer DeSantis tried to pass a child labor law to put teenagers out in the fields in Florida to do back-breaking agriculture labor in the summer heat because he ran off al the migrants. I seriously doubt any teens will show up.
