I think about this comic probably once a week at this point. I don’t know if anyone will ever be able to boil the problem down any further than what’s here — “but what if we make a better world for nothing?”
Unfortunately I have tried to show this to people, or use the line that illustrates it, and the gist of the general response is “my comfort comes before our safety.”
I had one of these colleagues. He insisted that he respects force, but whenever I pushed back, homie would run crying to our mutual boss.
One time, I snapped and yelled at him that I am a 15 year veteran, I know how to do my job. I ended up being forced to apologize to him for not respecting his ‘many years of experience.’
