What I learned by living without artificial light

Plenty in an absolute sense, sure. I don't appreciate the implication I was being dishonest, but let's really be honest.

If you pick a random software developer in 2018, they're writing forms over data web apps for a line of business application. It's a fluffy job with no real physical danger. That was my point.

And the same applies to "shop" workers, which can mean anything from retail to machine shops. You seem to have employed a rather narrow interpretation of that term, an interpretation which perhaps is culture-specific, but whose context is not specified in the posts that started this thread.

You know I specifically said "machine shop" in my original comment so I'm not sure why you're talking about retail.

Because no one before you said "machine shop", you're the one who interpreted "shop" in an overly narrow sense and then ranted about it as if that's what everyone was talking about.
