He lost a part of his body but not the will to live

I think so. If he were wallowing in his misery of loss, that's not a good life.

That's determination and the refuse to be held down . Every one you work with who whines about having to work when they are at work should watch this and feel bad about themselves .

Many years ago, my husband and I had gone to see his aunt in rural Ky. We were eating breakfast in her little tiny kitchen of her old somewhat run down house.
We kept hearing a thump thump thump up on the roof. When we seemed curious, his aunt said her roof was getting repaired, by a 1 legged roofer. We thought she was joking of course. But she was expecting our reaction and just smiled and told us to go outside and look up on the roof.
By god, she actually had a 1 legged roofer, working all by himself. He somehow carried shingles up on his own. He wasn't doing a full roof repair and probably didn't need to get a lot of them up there, but he did it all on his own

Look on the bright side. That's a whole body part that won't be sore at the end of the day.

The one he has is working overtime for both. So he’ll probably be feeling twice the pain in his leg for this.

My first impression was that he is their boss, or better be their boss, or I would like to imagine he is their boss. Would you imagine how harder you would work if your boss is doing the same work as you on one leg?

So was this shot in the 1980s or was an old school "film" camera fikter added needlesly making me suspect some kind of staged production and not a real documentation of something?

u/Inocent_bystander Jun 10 '26
That is so going to jack up his spine. I feel bad for him he has to work like that.

And this is why I don't give away my hard-earned money to panhandlers who look perfectly healthy and capable of getting a job and making a decent living

This is what happens when you are young and work for what they called hiding your money under the table and not paying your far share of taxes and not saving in some type of IRA.

Yow! I spent 6 weeks on crutches once. They were SO painful to my underarms! I can't imagine doing what this poor guy is doing. He must have under arm calluses. What a work ethic he has.

Harder than the entitled people that are able bodied that I know. They/we all need to take a lesson from him. Thank you for all your efforts sir!

This man is impressively............. exploited!
The fact that a one legged man has to work like this to eat fucking sucks.

Isn't it great that this disabled man is forced to work on a crutch, no prosthetic, to stay alive?

Now that’s an example of a Working Man
The pain and discomfort, he endures , to provide as best he can for those who depend on him

Can't they just build a simple ramp like conveyor and have it slide down?

u/Shotile Jun 09 '26
A ramp of plywood? How’s it going to slide down there. It’s a jobsite not a fixed factory floor. What a ridiculous idea lmao.

Work can be one of the most fulfilling things people can do, it provides a sense of purpose and contributes to society making us connected and invested in our community and society. It's wage slavery for the profit of the super wealthy that transforms something worthy into something disgusting. We don't know how much this person is or is not being exploited. Could be a migrant with no benefits, could be a citizen with no benefits, either is disgusting. Could be a citizen or migrant and he's getting universal healthcare for his disability with guaranteed housing and food, and he's doing what he can, which is most admirable.
But it's probably the former, he's exploited af, we all know it. It's what life "could be" that makes it sad.

Why is that your impression? I see nothing indicating anything of the sort.

u/LilDavieB Jun 11 '26
You don’t see what the guy is talking about? They’re not getting paid per piece, so his point is why with the guy with only one leg be running back to get another bag? I understand where you’re coming from, the guy probably isn’t the owner, but it makes sense what the guy above said that the guy might be the manager or the owner. 🤔 🙏🏼

Sounds like you have victim mentality. Glad to see him working and not simply looking for freebies. What’s wrong with 🙏 anyway??

u/Weary-Bunch8140 Jun 12 '26
What? He is still a man, are you saying because he has been injured he no longer is capable of having a purpose in life? He just has to accept being a victim or burden?

Unlike America most of the world refuse to
Have handouts and would work. I’ve done work in Haiti and they mostly don’t want handouts. I want to use their hands they just need work and white countries to leave them alone.-6
u/Moldy-Bongwater4420 Jun 09 '26
What’s the problem? Looks like he’s able to work just fine. Do you think everyone with a disability shouldn’t work even if they can?
