I worked in the mechanical trades for 45 years doing jobs that were physically demanding under hot , loud and cramped conditions in construction and industrial settings .
Never did I believe that I was all that special, but realized I was performing a necessary job to keep the machines running and production going.
People like Peterson who never hit a lick, may try to capitalize on the work ethic of others in order to push some kind of macho , hyper masculine agenda, but don’t understand that for most of us, it’s about doing the job and doing it right. That’s where the pride is.
