24. No access to clean water

Mon Mar 2, 2020, 12:36 PM

Mar 2020

Believe it or not there are some jobs in America that have no running water, access to soap. I work in the trades, in 29 yrs apart from office spaces we do not have handwashing facilities. This is helpful to me considering stores are sold out of hand sanitizers and wet wipes, which were always something I carried. Imagine if you will a workplace where people regularly snort and spit on the floor, honk snot out of their nose w a finger, and void themselves in plastic outdoor boxes w no handwashing occuring afterwards. I'm beyond sick of people thinking everyone works in an office.
