What was the significance of an article that deplores how bad it was to be a maintenance mechanic?

It shows how bad those jobs are and how little we appreciate their work....in terms of pay.

And do you really think his job gave him a heart attack?

How would I know?

Brumar, > What was the significance of an article that deplores how bad it was to be a maintenance mechanic?

Liberals see how horrible it was to be a maintenance mechanic. They only see victims of the rich white man.

Conservatives see a success story, a man who worked hard for his family, often at great risk to his own personal safety.

A great line from the article:

> My daughter is the grandchild of a maintenance mechanic. If she remembers that, she can do anything.
