I of course try to see the power plants at my job any chance I get so I can get out of the office and see some engineering, but I work with guys who work in power plants for the majority of the job where the threat of an arc flash forever looms at any unknown moment. My ass they deserve that many figures from the risk of a sports injury.
But at least the sports players are payed that much money by private businessmen and not the government.
Hell yeah!
Id rather pay Mr. Chase 200K a year to NOT get his fine ass fried!!!!
I mean really, a bunch of sweaty guys, running around, playing with their balls..........
WHY would I want to pay THEM that kind of money when Im NOT??????
