Not sure how it goes in the rest of the world, but in Australia, seems a lot of ‘hard working’ tradesmen and labourers spend half their time on break/smoko, or on their phones, charging arbitrarily high rates for average/poor work, whilst dropping $$ on drugs/alcohol/gambling, and complaining about cost of living. There’s very little integrity, pride in workmanship, and personal ownership.
Respect to those actually getting stuck in and aiming higher ✊🏻
