These ultra rich men can afford to buy a salvage ship for $14 million, so what would it hurt them to provide the workers with some cheap sleeping mats and proper shoes. Greed is one of the most shameful things in humanity 😢

Funny how it went from "No children work at my yard" to "Well, they have no choice". This guy knows exactly what is going on there. He just doesn't care and is probably bribing everybody and their cousin to leave him alone.

That’s a job AI can’t replace in the next 100 years.

Where people are cheaper than tools and equipment

Peace …Happiness….Prosperity…..maybe for him…..not the workers…..

Nothing like going to work with a sleeping shirt & a cheap pair of flip flops

"The men here are dwarfed by the vessels" - reminds me exactly of ants tearing apart a big bug or meal and carrying little pieces back.

4:50 The original "I am the captain now"

I worked in a shop 10 miles from Detroit, it was automated production grinding for automotive transmission valves, the shop owner saw great opportunity hiring Bangladesh folks. They stay working night and day for 40+ years and bring their family in too These folks make your American vehicles, most Americans quit in a year time in the grinding trade: primitive and dangerous

In the 80's, I was stationed aboard the USS Tuscaloosa LST-1187. We visited Chittagong, Bangladesh in 1984. We were the first US Navy ship to visit since it became a country in 1971. You have not seen poverty until you have seen Bangladesh. I'm not exaggerating. We had sailors from the Bangladesh Navy showing us around. We passed a man sitting at the side of the road with another man lying beside him. The man lying down was dressed up and had a tin cup on his chest. We were told that the man had died and the family could not afford to bury him. The tin cup was for donations to pay for a funeral. Very depressing place.
