It's not that they don't want to sell it to you, it's just they don't want to force you to wear protective equipment, so your employer can cheap out on it.

Also isn't Home Depot one of those very christian corpos in the US? If yes, then there's also a non-zero chance they think wearing protective equipment is "gay".

One of the founders is a hardcore Trump guy, but he's not part of the company anymore. The company itself splits its donations between Democrats and Republicans. (That's one of the tricks of a two party system. You can split your donation in half and win either way.)

They're not overly Christian the way Jimmy Johns or Chick-fil-A are.

Why is he kneeling on that board? He should be balancing his knees directly on the roof beams - get those kneecaps wobbling

Lol, I got yelled at for wasting time cause I went back down to get a scrap piece of board and some knee pads. After really slowing down an hour in, he went down and did the same. What's the point of buying stuff that helps you work easier and faster if you're not gonna use it?

Oh that’s just my dad. He’ll tell you when you should be wearing gloves or eye protection, and then exempt himself from that rule.

Ugh, I resemble this comment. I need to wear more PPE around the house.

I went into my attic once and I shudder to think what I’d feel if the insulation up there was glass fiber. I sort of tripped up there.

For the same reason, optic fiber terrifies me. Microscopic glass needles embedding themselves into your skin.

Ever since learning, as a kid, that insulation is microscopic needles of glass, I see it with the same disgust as seeing parasites. Same disgust of microscopic things invading your body and causing damage and not leaving..

Also, it's the president of Slovakia, Peter Pellegrini...

The forbidden cotton candy 😋

He's wearing the safety glasses so he's fine... You guys obviously have never done any sort of construction. Safety glasses make your whole body safe otherwise they wouldn't call them safety glasses duhhhhh.

Fiberglass is food, isn’t it?

I can never get my hands to itch and I breath too easily. There must be a better way!
