DO YOU REMEMBER, NOT THAT LONG AGO WHEN YOU COULD PULL UP ON A SITE AND NOT HALF TO PUT ON YOUR HARDHAT OR YOUR VEST.A PLACE WERE WE ALL HAD FUN WITH THE CREW JOKING AND LAUGHING!

I get caught up in nostalgia  about the old days too. When 28 m sizing was norm and even considered big by residential guys. Im not really all that impressed by the big stick race. I think at times big sticks came out of poor planning on job sites. I do remember when safety was more common sense than an excuse to avoid liability.Ehen if you did twist your ankle stepping off your pump tripped no 2 by 4 the boss didnt hate you for pushing compo rates up he just made sure you were ok and if you needed a couple days off you took it and went right back at it , no stress no fuss ..     but i digress

Very valid point on the different attitudes in how an injury used to be handled - V - how it is now.

40 years ago people did not think of LOTTERY BY LITIGATION.

It was "Get well soon."

not

"Get rich quick."

It isn't the lawyers fault any more than the cop is the reason for the rise in crime.

It is the 'me first' attitude that has weakened our society; it is what has led us to where we are now.

yes the good old days when the air was clean and the sex was dirty.....lol or when the men were men and the sheep were nervous....lol yes that was twisted...lol
