Lol-That water lady is a hoot as she cruises by Tony heckling him

[@helios8369]

@annika I thought she was kinda cruel

[@annika_panicka]

@@helios8369 No-Sir Tony is well respected has a great sense of humor. It was all meant in good fun and for effect, to play up the awfulness of a task in an episode of the "Worst Jobs in History." Plus she explained that in olden times, water schleppers could have their pay docked for all manner of unfair reasons-she was calling out things for which he would be fined (and possibly tossing a few absurd ones in for a laugh). She did have a very deadpan delivery that sounded stern, though. I can see how it might come across as cruel, but the producers of the show would never allow Tony to be humiliated in such a manner, nor would he stand for it.

Regarding the crossing sweeper, there is good evidence that if you had a severe mental illness or intellectual disability, in some ways you were better off in pre-industrial societies than today due to the jobs. While in village culture being a street sweeper, a fire-wood gatherer, etc. were valuable services they could do, in modern cultures “entry” level jobs (like working at a fast food drive thru) are way too difficult, which coupled with changing beliefs, meant that those with severe mental or intellectual disabilities are actually more disenfranchised today.

This lack of knowledge is what happened during the "Dark Ages"(or the age of non writing) so stuff was forgotten in 1000 years and had to be relearned. Also Christianity was taking hold and a Lot of book burning happened (so recorded knowledge was gone) so blame religion for that. Yes lead pipe was not the best, but it did not kill you immediately. Much of the lead was made into wine cups. The poor got the clay cups, the really poor - in their hands. So the hollow pipe had to be reinvented.
