    Not always. How many people died digging the Panama canal, or building the Hoover dam? How many ships just fucking sink with all hands each year because the company doesn’t give the first two half-flaccid thrusts of an obligatory marital fuck about safety?

      How many lives were saved as a result of the canal and the dam? These were public works anyway. Profitable for a few, sure. But publicly bankrolled and broadly beneficial for the continent at-large.

      the company doesn’t give the first two half-flaccid thrusts of an obligatory marital fuck about safety?

      One one track is a pile of money and on another is a collection of workers without hardhats and safety boots, perhaps.
