For every 40 y career in the car industry a person is killed

[Dynion Araf Uchaf]

I came across this alarmist sensationalist ste on twitter.


I’ve done 20 years in the motor industry so that’s 1/2 a person I’ve killed.

This is just such emotive, single variant analysis, crap.

Are there any other industries which get this level of histrionics?

It's an anonymous account on twitter. They make bunches of frogs look entirely rational, why would you take any notice of them?

[Double Fault]

I did 3 years so maybe I’m responsible for a foot.

Hopefully i’ll get over it.

Fook - I have done 41 years now! (We had a training course recently where we had to do a quick intro - guess who felt old!)

Anyway, Twitter, it is inhabited by a load of loons.

Because too many people love this emotive bks. It’s starts to become gospel and I’m left defending an industry that I actually think is ace. But that’s because I don’t think making dishwashers would be as interesting.

Oh dear I'm coming up to 37 years so (yes feeling old) nearly claimed my first victim!
What a load of ####!

Winky would lose his mind if he applied that logic to anyone serving in the military or working for a weapons manufacturer!

That tweet is stupid but if I started a thread for every stupid tweet I ever saw I would have started thousands.

Motoring still, but Insurance attracts histrionics for sure. Usually baseless unfounded nonsense too.

My wife did 35 years before she took early retirement, can we have Jacob Rees Mogg?

[595Heaven]

32 years here. The smell of impending doom for someone is strong

[Pica-Pica]

46 years including 4 years uni. Who can I claim?

[swisstoni]

A proponent of cycling.
Which I think may have a high ‘score’ itself as an industry.

Too high a price to pay?

He’s spelled w*nkybiker wrong for a start

Oil.

The guy is clearly a moron. Insulate Britain and the like are probably far more efficient in killing people by preventing people getting to hospital and the like in those pesky motorised ambulances.

Someone once said that Twitter is like lifting a lid of a dustbin and watching a load of rats fighting each other.

[MattsCar]

Would be interesting to see the statistic for people working in the arms industry!

[Cold]

That's nothing. I heard every time Bono clicks his fingers a child dies. Someone should stop him - or make him wear gloves.

Or working in the tobacco or alcohol industry.

A family member has been in the motor industry for decades. I’m so glad I now know on whom I can blame my migraines.
