A_Good_Boy 07/21/23 5:02:49 PM #11:	This motherfucker had a summer job and the hardship he had to experience was buying boots that were OSHA approved, and the main lesson he's learned was that OSHA compliant footwear is an unnecessary government overreach. I've worked alongside people that have had crippling foot pain and foot problems for years because the footwear they had wasn't adequate for the job. That $200 at 18 years old isn't anywhere near as life changing as plantar fasciitis at 25, or that lifelong limp because you dropped a box on your toes while wearing tennis shoes and now your foot is smashed. --- Who is?
