Note: this is in Washington state not California, and is unrelated to the incident in the news the last few days, with people being evacuated in Orange County. This seems to be at a facility that creates paper products out of lumber.

- jerlam 5mo agoHow much of the decrease is due to those dangerous jobs being outsourced to other countries, and the US becoming a service economy with office jobs? How much of the decrease is due to safety organizations like OSHA that are currently being dismantled under the guise that safety is uneconomic?
- s1artibartfast 5mo agoSome of both, but but it still safer than ever. If someone thinks otherwise, they are just mindkilled.
