16 Dangerous Jobs Around The World | Business Insider Marathon

[@janeday9148]

Interesting to see how inventive people are to make a living for their families ,it is sad to see such hardship but people are brave & deserve respect

[@lcfflc3887]

Yeah for 12 dollars a day yet you have people complaining here in the US because they only make $50,000 a year. Lol this people need to watch documentaries like this.

[@ajp806]

And you know Americans would never doing any of these jobs,my brother lives in guyana and it's sad how people live In these countries and here in the US people complain they don't make enough money to live.

[@ghostsoap6681]

​@@lcfflc3887 dude with the way inflation keeps going 50,000 year isn't going to be enough to live here anymore especially if you have kids and family. I remember when you can get a full Aldi's grocery cart full for 100 dollars and make note an Aldi's cart is twice the size of a regular shopping cart. now days 100 barely gets a hand basket full. I'm in my mid twenty's so no I'm not one of those old people that can say that I used to buy bread for 5 cents. But in less than twenty's food prices more than quadrupled and that doesn't include other expenses for example you can't rent a decent one bedroom apartment for less than 600 dollars a month when I remember my mom used to play 300 for a three bedroom when I was little.

[@MattthegreatOneofOne]

​@@ajp806 what's sad is Americans talking bad about themselves in such general terms.... As if we don't experience hardships. Many of us do. What's sad is when irrigation, plumbing, and power systems are installed in Africa by well meaning people and groups from other countries (like America, for one), or when bridges are constructed that save much hardship, the people of a village trained in operations and purposes to help their communities.... And within 5 years in some cases it is completely unused, fallen into disrepair, dug up and sold, or otherwise neglected into ruin. In the case of a certain stone bridge built in the 1800s by Europeans, the remains have been left alone, the locals opting instead for a dangerous and weak substitute.... Even at the expense of life, no one fixes it. Perhaps they lack the engineering, organization, and leadership skills. Their savage and greedy gangs, their governmental and societal systems, their cultural norms, their capacity for innovation, all are inept at providing for a thriving and healthy country for themselves - and it is quite sad to see Americans, who have been slowly crushed with inflation for a century, poisoned with chemicals and cultural depravity, dumbed down by a subverted educational system, bashed as if guilty for trials of others across the world. We are bashed in many cases by would-be communists, in all of their deadly irony insulting a system that has been, despite all corruption, one that still manages to provide a semblance of normalcy and comfort to a large portion of out population. It is sad to see such pathetic weakness and ignorance exhibited by my fellow countrymen. However, there indeed will be a brighter day.

They did specify the locations where they went, even featured that NGO that helps those farmers with their insects to make the shellac. I don't have the means but I've thought about it and if I could help someone I wouldn't do it through an NGO unless the people they're trying to help don't know how to get said help, but I mean, why would I help someone help someone else? Why not help that someone else directly? Anyway I hope you find a way to make a meaningful change in someone's life, sounds very gratifying.

[@afz902k]

What's crazy to me is the parents are both just sitting around doing nothing, being completely useless, while their children dig in the trash to sustain the family. That's called being a piece of shit parent. My family is not rich and any adult in my family would and has done whatever they can so their children don't have to go through something like that. I would rather work all day picking through garbage myself than endanger my child.

[@78gao420]

@@afz902k Much of that is because of the government. The government provides the largest amount of housing and subsidies (Obviously not enough), however if the individual works the government cuts off that aid, so it creates this type of structure. The largest take away of the video is that the poor will always be manipulated and extorted for profits by corporations & the governments they form.

Please start something so we can donate funds, dry goods, clothes, shoes! for these families!

[@alice88wa]

To be honest it is very hard getting support to where it needs to go. Money is often withheld or stolen by the people in charge of distributing it. Physical goods are often sold, if not by the people receiving it than by the actual families in need. If they are good shoes, they are worth far more for the money they can fetch by being sold.

He says that sometimes the Board of Directors of major oil companies are watching his hands through cameras on his helmet as their well head engineers talk to him over his headset giving him instructions. The physical and mental pressure is immense as the cost per day of having a well head valve not working is in the millions. He is at risk of death at all times because of the risk of the extreme depths they work at. He says its less risky than his previous job in the military but he can't talk about it.

It's crazy to think we spend tons of money on gym memberships and plastic surgeries and health foods and vitamins and blah blah and these people who work hard everyday are in amazing shape!! It's a little embarrassing America NGL lol

[@ritishify]

Working hard everyday doesn't make them stay in shape. Some of their body parts like their arms and legs must be very strong indeed but they don't get to rest or make an assessment of whether or not they're putting too much stress and should do some other workout like you would at the gym. I know you would like to think that because it makes it less miserable for them but, being realistic, many of the workers in these videos are putting their bodies to the extreme. No toxic gases or extreme environment at the gym. Again, I know you were trying to say something positive but the truth is that most of these lives can't be considered "good" for anybody's well being, it is what it is, literally. At least technology is spreading pretty fast so maybe in 100 years nobody will have to do such things as those poor kids handling discarded weapons of mass destruction... if we're still here by then... Crazy times.

If you are wondering about shellac then in old times the heat would melt them to the ground creating a shiny rock these was use to decorate palace, in old time people used candle, fire lamps it melted this more and drops falling on wood and floor made it more beautiful from there they started using it in all kind of decoration. Then it was exported to western places and they found it made a good food coating and we are here now. Note - people use to eat it in India too but no one decorated food with it.

I would love to climb trees to gather shellac or climb trees for acia berries... this might sound odd but I'm sincere. I wish i had been born many decades ago. I grew up in the country. We grew most of our vegetables and fruit and we hunted for our protein. I wish my family hasn't dissolved when my father left us for another woman. He just walked away and left us to just struggle.

All this garbage and pollution we create. If your father built a company that was inherited by you after he passed, would you run that company and your livelihood into the ground? I ask this because if we as a people have inherited this Earth from our father, then why are we as a whole running it into the ground? The good book says that we are to be good Stewarts of the Earth. We should love, nurture, and protect it. I'm surprised how out of hand globally it's gotten. While people are concerned with what's on the NEWS, it seems the news isn't concerned with real topics. I don't even think most people understand the destruction they do because these crimes of humanity time and time again, seem to be covered up or avoided in interest altogether. What a shame. 😔
