The guy is a pianist named Brendan Kavanagh, he is not a construction worker….just in case anyone was confused. He has a YT channel full of subway piano videos.

I don’t believe all these piano videos…and that’s the cleanest construction worker in the universe.did he literally just buy all that stuff?

I bet he earns the same as a musician... but that's because he is one just dressed up as a construction worker.

And threw a tantrum, yes.

Not the first time. He’s on camera being a racist douchebag against a15 year old Mexican golfer angrily telling him he should be cutting the grass not playing golf, same to teenage Puerto Rican golfers, and Mexican construction workers who dared to listen to Mexican music at work.
Here’s one clip….(the reason he dropped his last campaign)



Again, this is not an isolated incident, it’s who he is daily, and who he would be as a congressman.

I saw this on the local news tonight. I didn't know it was Seattle! Makes me kind of surprised anyone participated. Must have been tourists ... and those construction workers? Must have been drunk ...

Seems like construction workers have the most sense of humor..or the most immature?

Pssh, whatever -[ from drug dealer to slingin' nachos from a truck - Welcome to California mothafucka! Seriously, it seems like everyone does that shit. I knew a construction worker who took it one step further and served bourgeois creme brule from a cart. Ain't nothing special, but better than working for the man or destroying the world in tech!

Holy Fuck!! Google "Trump Bonwit Teller":

New York Times:
"Plain as the building might be, the entrance was like a spilled casket of gems: platinum, bronze, hammered aluminum, orange and yellow faience, and tinted glass backlighted at night. In 1929 American Architect magazine called it “a sparkling jewel in keeping with the character of the store.”


"Upon learning about the historic building’s imminent demolition, and recognizing the cultural value of its ornamentation, the Metropolitan Museum of Art convinced Trump to remove portions of the historic facade and donate them to the institution."

"Soon he was backpedaling, after realizing that it would take two more weeks and $32,000...to properly take the reliefs off the building. Using his fake alter ago, a “Trump spokesperson” named John Baron, he told the New York Times in 1980: “The merit of these stones was not great enough to justify the efforts to save them.” His construction workers chopped up the metalwork with torches and let the sculptures fall to the ground to crack into smithereens."

Two, 15 foot high, irreplacable, Art Deco bas-relief sculptures smashed by Trump to save $32,000 in costs to remove them.

Considering the number of shoddy construction worker shit posted daily on Reddit, I probably wouldn't use it. Maybe if nobody else was in the pool but during a big party where it's obviously overloaded.. that's a death trap.

Idiots, the thief and the construction workers.

-Jumping onto of a moving vehicle
-Punching the windscreen(not possible to break with your hand).
-Holding on the car as it continues to gain serious speed
-RAMMING SAID VEHICLE (causing $$$$ damage to your own car)while your colleague is still hanging onto the front.

For what? a $200 bit of machinery? Not even worth the damage you'd do to your hand from punching the windscreen (considering you're a construction worker and your income relies on working hands!) let alone the potential brain damage, disability or death if you come off the bonnet.

I'm also not sure how the law would interpret ramming a car off the road, or flipping it, or squishing it against other cars and causing more collateral than the tool is worth (which you'd have to do to make it stop), just to stop a petty thief. And honestly if you damaged my car to stop a thief, you'd be paying for my car.

Do these people think they are living in an action movie? I know the Terminator jumped onto a car and punched through the windscreen, but they used a hydraulic ram and hid it with special fx.

Idiots.

Would love to see how this ends though cause I'd be very surprised if everything /everyone was fine.

"Some construction workers catch a thief trying to steal a drill from a job site in Dallas. A chase and shenanigans ensue."

A drill? I wonder what type of drill it was that was worth stealing.

Totally anecdotal and I don't have a strong opinion on the general topic...but...

My first job out of high school was carpentry, along with a few of my friends. I left that career but my friends stayed in it. When we went on a job site we worked with maybe a dozen highly skilled, well payed career construction workers. Eventually my friends were pushed out of the industry. The jobs went away. Instead of a crew of skilled carpenters, roofers and so forth, what they were replaced with was a crew of low payed, unskilled, illegal immigrants lead by a single foreman who split his time between several job sites.

Now those jobs will be listed as "low paying jobs Americans don't want", with no accounting for the high payed, skilled jobs that were lost.

I've read that one reason Hong Kong construction workers prefer bamboo to metal scaffolding is that it's less likely to injure them badly in a fall -- it's flexible and gives under impact.
