Well,
- I'm also a strong proponent of limiting unnecessary stress in workplace environments, moving towards shorter work days (which would also help mitigate unemployment) and workers rights which also helps limit work related stress. Plus you know, access to mental and physical healthcare should be for everyone.
- I very strongly support taking extensive safety measures in mines.
- Dying in a storm while fishing really shouldn't happen very often, considering how good technology has become in predicting the weather. And people shouldn't have to be pressed so hard financially that they have to risk their lives doing it. Plus overfishing is a major issue
- I also strongly support people taking safety measures when shoveling snow from their roofs.
- I will never sympathize with people who watch baseball, so what ever.
Jokes aside, while death is inevitable and everything involves some risk, that's not a very good argument for not trying to do something to limit the risks.
