Construction workers never get the respect they deserve. It is a skilled and demanding field that is one of the backbones of our society. Real shit
It's most often the most important jobs that get overlooked, not the military ones, but the civilians ones
yeahhh....skilled work it is not
@@zoruao.508 whatever you say bruv
@@zoruao.508 all work requires different skills, construction requires physical skills (coordination, strength, endurance) whereas office work requires mental skills (basic computer knowledge, lying thru ur teeth to push blame onto others, and knowing when the boss is gonna show up so u can tab out of youtube and look busy/sober)
we value the latter more because our cultural definition of "skilled" was created by office creatures to justify their inflated salaries and miserable existence
@@zoruao.508 well that depends on the work your doing and what standards you hold yourself to, my father for instance has to do a huge amount of mathematics on the job as well as estimating balance and mass, but even non design based parts of construction take a lot of practice to master like tying of rebar before you pour concrete looks easy but try doing it without cutting up your hands and taking forever, eventually you develope skills to do hard jobs quickly with little tricks and techniques

Not impressive, just sad.
Its ironic how the workers probably have strained themselves physically way more than the athletes taking part in the olympics yet they probably dont get even a hundredth of what the ahtletes are paid
No. Those were misleading statistics of ALL immigrant workers throughout like a 6 year period. There was an interview with Piers Morgan explaining this. It was much closer to I think 100 or so deaths due to construction. Still unfortunate, but using misleading statistics to gain sympathy and rhetotic never helps your arguement.

Hello there
Qatar said 500 migrant workers died constructing the stadium that hosts the 2022 World Cup soccer games. This is most likely a low figure. Building the Hoover Dam caused the death of 96 people. While the Hoover Dam has been generating life saving electricity for almost 100 years, the soccer stadium in Qatar will probably be left unused after the tournament like so many construction projects for major sporting events including the Olympics. Life is cheap, and increasing so these days.
It doesn't even make sense to construct these one-time use facilities when they *already* have places that can host these competitions.
Could you imagine of the Romans built a new Colosseum every 4 years?

In Qatar, the workers are imported for the job. They get paid more than 5 times what will they be earning in their countries, if they are lucky to find jobs. The World Cup added extra scrutiny and and improved their conditions. They get paid very well, cared for in good dorms. Once the job is finished, they will return to their home with cash.

@@TheSamgo No that's not the point. The point is that their work is far more impressive than the soccer player's. Slave-like conditions is a huge stretch.
@@HostileJabberwocky32No bud it really isn't. Horrible work conditions have been a backdrop to all of fifa championships unfortunately. Besides the onion always was very left.
Might as well be both points.
V Facure These conditions are literally killer, people’s lives are significantly shortened and their quality of life significantly reduced because of strain and injuries from this kind of work
According to capitalism theory, you will succeed if you work hard enough. This man didn't succeed, therefore he is lazy.
Are you dumb or something? People who work hard are not guaranteed success just like you aren't guaranteed anything in life but those that work hard will have a much higher chance of succeeding. You also have to pick you work. If you work hard in manual labor you will never get anywhere. Maybe use logic once in a while it will keep you from looking stupid.
Based God, are you saying that nobody should ever work in manual labor since it can't get anywhere? Man, that's brilliant I can't wait to see what that society looks like.
+Marshymallow no dummy what I'm saying is that if you enter into a menial construction job don't be surprised when your hard work isn't rewarded with a big sum of money.
+Based God I think you missed the point which was to point out the fault in the capitalist theory
of course he's lazy, his skin is waaay darker than mine, his hair is black and he lives in the same country his ancestors did. what a piece of shit.
