Listen, I'll try and weigh in on this, but politics are outside my realm of expertise; My parents dug, I was trained to dig, I'm paid to dig, and so I dig. How the heck I got picked for capsuleer training, I don't know.
Fact of the matter is that people have a job to do, and you can't just walk off from it to go be angry. My supervisor's ticked me off more times than I care to mention, but I grit my teeth and do my job. imagine if a group of ventilation technicians...what's the word? Oh yeah, "unionize", and go on strike. While they aren't working, automated systems fail, and suddenly you got security having to evacuate residential area due to CO2 levels spiking due to excessive contamination. Well those union workers still aren't happy, and suddenly those same vents and filters now have an exponential increase on stress since the station population's been so heavily displaced, and now the filters are gonna blow much sooner, and contamination is going to build up much faster.
See what I'm getting at here? It's not a matter of desire, it's a matter of NECESSITY. Our jobs are crucial to the survival and comfort of our communities. If you have a problem, that doesn't give you an excuse to screw over your community. I just wish we'd let in willing outsiders more often. Our population's low enough as is. Frankly, if they're qualified for a job that some other idiot is too lazy or irritated to handle, I'd gladly call that foreigner brother. At least then i don't have to worry about suffocating in my sleep due to dissent.
If some holier-than-thou white knight...wait. Wrong idiom, I think the Ammar have that one.
If some Social Justice lackey wants to sleep on a station full of workers ready to jump at someone's throat, then that's their choice. It ain't gonna end well. I just wish the Corporate Heads would've done what I, and every other schmuck that earns their paycheck does everyday - Grit their teeth, and do the job they have to do for everyone else's benefit. |
