 @d646aae5 no, these men are borderline retards who revel in their ignorance.

They say all kinds of dumb shit, like:

* "4 hours of sleep is enough, I'll get plenty of sleep when I die"
* "computers are a waste of time"
* "I don't tell anybody anything I know β€” job security"

 @7502a322 Ahh, the stereotype "I'm very bad ass". No excuse for that dumbassery 
 @d646aae5 they're not even exceptionally great at their job.

It's one thing when Samuel Clemons says that he doesn't have a use for a man that can only spell a word one way and then you have a man that doesn't even put in the bare minimum effort to be passably fluent in the only language he knows.

 @7502a322 😬 Those are definitely people I'm not missing by being out of the work force and being a hermit. Idk how people like that skate by in their jobs/life. 
 @d646aae5 ass kissing, mostly...

 @7502a322 This is why we import cheap shit. No such thing as meritocracy anymore.

Sounds like union folk
@d646aae5 
 @440af60e @d646aae5 actually no, these people aren't union.

I've had dealings with union tradesmen. My experiences with union labor has left me less than impressed.
