Poll of the Day > Physical labor type of work

(+) Yeah! (+)

Let's keep in mind, America whether anyone agrees or not was founded on tobacco and slavery early on in those colonies and in some of their journals, those British settlers wrote that they were "English Gentlemen" and as such they did not do manual labor and that mindset persists today.

This is a question more for the 80s when there was a divide based on perceptions of education and social status factors.

today with things automating and technology many things that might be considered physical labor are significantly different if we have tech to do the work and the former laborer simply pushes buttons or uses a machine.

the scope of physical labor jobs is narrowing and changing.

Someone has to do physical labor. Not everyone can have a job that doesnt involve any. Even if its just a little. At least, for now. Eventually, nobody will probably have jobs anymore, and the world may end...

Btw, I think you meant to use theyre... Though, the question also kind of reads weird to me, so Idk...

I'm not opposed to physical labor, but I'm also not okay with is the idea that my body is the only way I can make a living, and I'm not going to break my body for a meneal wage so someone else can make bank off of me.

*they're

And no. Americans take pride in blue collar labor. What they don't respect is restaurant work or customer service.

Considering historians wouldn't even agree with your claim, it's something of a leap. Not to mention it was the late colonial period when slavery became a booming industry (and even then, it wasn't big in every colony).

And that's not even getting into the substance of the rest of this troll topic... and, given that all you do is post highly inaccurate and misleading troll topics, I'm probably better off just adding you to my ignore list.
