I've been working as a construction inspector and I totally agree with your sentiment. Construction workers are some of the most genuine people I've met in my life and I love working alongside them even if I'm a white-hat (although mine is orange). The culture surrounding stickers is one of my favorite parts of working and I've started to collect some myself between projects I'm on, my university, and other stuff. Keep up the great work, Paige!

I once saw an old man on the subway with a hardhat sticker that said "weed is bad" but the rest of it was obscured. When he got up to get off the train the rest of the sticker said "we should burn it"

@BikeHelmetMk2

I love blue collar workers. They're harder to offend, so you can talk freely and discuss stuff and have meaningful conversations. White collar and university trained has a lot more... "Politics"... probably something to do with how people get ahead in many business environments. Way more peer stress, just like back in school. Usually if you chat up the well trained blue collar workers, like HVAC, Electricians, etc, you'll find out that they absolutely love thinky stuff like hard sci-fi. I found a banter-buddy to chat with about the TV show, The Expanse, at the local plumbing place. There seem to be a lot of deep thinkers in that group, though not necessarily conforming to what is socially acceptable or is common university culture. There's a very prevalent ethos among all of them, though - work hard, do quality work, do it fast.

Love that statement "Just weren't dealt that hand of cards that would lead to an awokening" I took a while to realise this fact about so many people when I struggled to understand anti-liberal views which to me just seemed plain stupid. I think the wave of neo-liberalism (which isn't liberalism at all) that has swept the western world is really to blame leaving too many people out in the cold and open to embracing ideas that give them some power.

@remysealey4086

Such a wonderful episode and a unique topic to cover! Thank you :)

@Netopya12123

For a second I thought I was going to be judged on my laptop stickers

@rdcreative7022

I often think and wonder about this cool subculture whenever I see a construction worker on the train. Really cool to see a video on it!

@Epitome_93

I proudly had my 🏳️‍🌈 gay stickers on my hardhat. My RIGID toolbox was full of the more "aggressively gay" stickers. It's hilarious to see the guys who would dish it, but couldn't take it. Most of our stickers on the hardhat were for utilitarian purposes ("Forklift Trained", CPR, Years with the Comp.)

@grd4629

Damn it, Paige! Ya got me a little teary at the end there!

@blortmeister

Well observed, well reasoned. I preach intersectionality every chance I get. We're looking for points of commonality, not points of contention.

@jesush.christ6184

This is a great video. But the title doesn't do it justice

@MapleMilk

Absolutely love the conclusion of the video

@YoungThos

I echo what some others have said: very orignal and compelling video, but with a confusing title. If it weren't for the Paige Saunders Seal of Quality™ I don't know that it would have occurred to me to click

@martyfill9690

Nice work paige 5 stars

@bensteele5801

I'm a little surprised just how much I like this video

@forivall

Lol, yeah, I used to work in the office of a big construction company, and safety culture is at their corr so much that we even had "safety moment"s at some of our big meetings. My brother (mech systems engineer) did some inspection work for them and he even found their safety culture to be a little excessive.
