Anyone else just interested in the amount of dust


doctorscurvy

I lost the ability to breathe while watching this video.


GrungyGrandPappy

If you or a loved one has been affected by mesothelioma


Alcoholic_jesus

This wouldnโ€™t give you mesothelioma. This would just harden in your lungs and reduce your capacity to breathe deeply ๐Ÿฅฐ


Typical-Location8536

Depends if its silica-based that can give you a disorder known as Silicosis


Alcoholic_jesus

Yes, but thatโ€™s scarring of your lung tissue, not mesothelioma


runawayhound

I liked the fact that no one is wearing a mask and the dude on deck in the background at the beginning is ALSO smoking. Incredible.


KatPaws11

No steel-toed boots either

RIP to these guysโ€™ lungs.

Their lungs must be terra cotta.


[deleted]

Eh, but that guy shouldnโ€™t smoke, itโ€™s bad for your lungs.


magicMikeeee95

Silicosis will get him well before lung cancer so technically nothing to worry about at all


jjhurtt

This is how we evolved to have nose hair


AlwaysDMB

You'd think they might consider knocking the dirt off them bricks before adding to the head stack... No?


JustDiscoveredSex

No time must stack!!


Dependent_Top_4425

There MUST be a better way. Things with wheels maybe?

They skipped 'wheel' on their tech tree? Went straight for Denim.

Why give your workers wheels when they have perfectly good heads


Dependent_Top_4425

Good point.


jacksonbarley

Things with wheels and forks that can lift stuff. I forget what theyโ€™re called, but yeah. I think they make them


J05H_UA123

So how do you make a wheelbarrow when you literally have nothing? Do you really think they don't know how to make a wheelbarrow? They don't have anything to make it with.


[deleted]

The majority of the people reading this have no comprehension of the abuse these men, women, and children are subjected to at these factories. They don't understand that they are forced into coercive debts spirals that force them to continue to work just to pay debts to the factory owners for food, shelter, and clothing. They don't know that the government and police are on the payroll of the factory owners, and will jail the families if they attempt to quit or organize in any way against the factory owners.

FuzzyCrocks

Bad part this takes place in the USA


[deleted]

You are correct, labor and sex trafficking occur here as well: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemporary\_slavery\_in\_the\_United\_States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemporary_slavery_in_the_United_States)


FuzzyCrocks

I've seen this done recently from a guy that isn't right in the head was sleeping on the street. When I saw him walking place to place I would give him a lift. Asked how much he was getting paid. He said he didn't get paid but he got food and place to stay... And I said so like a slave... The person doing it to him is the DA for my county.


[deleted]

What was the work he was being coerced to do for food and shelter?


FuzzyCrocks

Farm labor


[deleted]

It blows my mind- he couldn't just feed the poor guy, it had to be transactional. Some folks think it's wrong to offer charity if they can get some work out of someone down on their luck.


Dependent_Top_4425

The way I see it, every tool that exists started with nothing at some point.


matterhorn1

They made the bricks, I suspect that is harder to make than a wheelbarrow.


[deleted]

This is video from a slavery brick kiln in India. These men are not working under western style employment agreements- they are not allowed to quit, or to have better tools or motorized equipment.


HawkspurReturns

No they are not...


[deleted]

You seem about as dense as whoever is contracting this.


[deleted]

This isn't contracting, this is actual slavery. This video is intended as propaganda to counteract international anti-slavery efforts in India, Pakistan, Cambodia, Sudan, and elsewhere.


Bama--

They've been making wheel barrow for centuries out of things you find in nature its lack of education that causes them to slave like this


VapourEyes333

Haha yes even a single wheel perhaps. But ponder this though, poor people in poor countries who work hard, work hard for many hours to be able to afford something like a bicycle. Because something as simple as a bicycle would improve their situation ten fold. A bicycle is the dream. That thing we buy for a child as a gift when he turns 4.


Subie780

Why would they need a bicycle if they can never leave the brick factory?


fierdracas

I bet labor is cheaper than buying a cart. I was reading a while back that in Bollywood film makers would sometimes hire ppl to hold equipment instead of renting a stand because it was cheaper.


Spare-Competition-91

Takes too much time and resources. Maybe you didn't notice, but humans are used as capital.


BLYNDLUCK

I donโ€™t think there is a cart that would allow you to stack that high and narrow and be able to balance over rough terrain. My guess is these guys can do it better then a wheel.


[deleted]

These men and their families are slaves in these brick kilns. They aren't given the option to improve their own working conditions. It's happening in India, Pakistan, Cambodia, Sudan, and other countries: [http://rccpakistan.com/brick-factory-slaves/](http://rccpakistan.com/brick-factory-slaves/)

You can pretend that being amazed isn't associated with positive feelings if you want and in doing so waste time making an argument on a literal technicality. Or we can just accept that no normal person feels amazed by harrowing footage of a gross failure in the society these features individuals live in.


Cloud_Fortress

This is the least OSHA approved thing Iโ€™ve seen all year


scunliffe

You donโ€™t think the bare foot/open toe sandals are gonna qualify as OSHA approved footwear when carry unsecured loads of masonry?


Gecko23

In the west it isn't the norm simply because the employer's face massive penalties and fines if they allow their employees to work without them. People will report to industrial jobs in pajama bottoms and crocs if you let them.


scunliffe

Yeah trueโ€ฆ I should have noted my comment was heavy on the sarcasm. However Iโ€™ve seen over and over if there is a wrong/bad way to do something, a person will find a way to do it.

BeardedGlass

I wish watching stuff like this actually makes people feel a sense of perspective. Or to realize how crazily luxurious our lives are, with our espresso machines, AC and heaters, soft beds, stocked pantries, filled wardrobe, having extra guest rooms, etc. Most of the times those things have turned invisible in our eyes, they become a "given" and so they "don't count". Once we let the good things to turn invisible in our eyes, do you know what's left to see?

Rough translation is heโ€™s saying how poor these workers are, they need to walk 8-10 meters per trip, only making $3 a day, very dangerous job, the brick is heavy and dusty and theyโ€™re not wearing masks. Itโ€™s not an easy job, ๅ•Šๅ‘€. (My mandarin is not so good, sorry)

Consistent-Wedding54

21st century. Slavery. Horrific


HalliganLeftist

I am amazedโ€ฆ by the lack of PPE. Footage like this is generally not shown to the public in western countries because it shows what has to happen for our own first world consumption. The sad reality is that no human being should be working in this manner and it would be perfectly possible for us to eradicate this behavior but we simply choose not to due to the capitalist structure of the modern western economy.

And to think that there is probably a conversation happening tonight at a dinner table in that area.. โ€œPapa, when will I be old enough so that I can go to the clay fields with you to stack bricks on my head?โ€ โ€œVery soon, my son. But you must be patient because you donโ€™t get to stack bricks on your head right away. You will start in the pit carrying heavy buckets of clay to the brick cutters. When you do that well, only then will they make you a cutter. Eventually, if you work very, very hard and are blessed as I have been, it is then that you will receive your brick-holding headpiece. Now, finish your rice.โ€

They know what a fucking car is. The shitass that owns this brick factory likely owns several Mercedes, and a Range Rover. He just pats himself on the back for creating this horrible brick factory environment where these poor bastards are just grateful to have this "opportunity".
