Is it just me or does anyone else read the headline as damning, with faint praise, the state of labor in America? Think Amazon warehouse workers, Wal*Mart retail employees, UPS delivery drivers, and the entire gig economy.
- criddell 2y agoThe title on HN is the subtitle of the article. The main title is "The Honorable Parts".
- qntty 2y agoEven this seems to imply that there are also dishonorable parts that we are assumed to be aware of. Seems like a disrespectful way to talk about people who agreed to be your photography subjects.
- cratermoon 2y agoOh I hadn't thought of it in terms of the laborers themselves. I was thinking about the conditions under which the subjects labor in places like Amazon warehouses and the gig economy. But yes, the sort of anti-labor zeitgeist that permeates the US is definitely one of "labor dishonorable".
