I love this post, Rob. Those folks really are at risk of bodily harm and worse — and few people stop to think about that. Terrific for Labor Day! Kudos to you for doing this. Hugs.

What I find interesting is these folks are behaving the way we expect our political leaders to behave. These construction workers come from all over the world and they collaborate with each other to build things.

I often think what a great and hard job they do. No matter how hot, wet or cold it is. Real heroes.

What impresses me is these guys are supposed to be ‘unsophisticated hard hats’ and yet they come from all races and gender identities and work together to build our city. I see white people eating lunch with immigrants from all over the world and in San Francisco a few of these men and women are certainly gay or trans. Yet, no fights, no murders, just lunch and back to work.

Yes, they focus on something completely different. People who are working on the same goal. Not more, not less! An example that it needs everybody to create with their particular talents and abilities… and not with their origins or whatever.

Great shots, Rob. These guys are the building blocks of the future. I’ve no idea how they work in all kinds of weather that Mother Nature throws at them. My ‘hard hat’ is tipped off to them for what they do.
