    This guy underestimates how brutal working is when you’re body is falling apart because you have to ignore your health to keep working so you won’t starve and lose your home. You cannot do this for decades and not just die before you ever retire.

        Shit. Roofing was horrible when I was 18. I can’t imagine it now!

        Get him on a roofing crew (or fish farm, or shake & shingle, or even tree planting) and he’ll be gone by 1st Coffee.
