Now imagine being a logging worker, risking your life every day[1], and not having anyone ever say this about you.

I think plenty of people say that, actually. There was a very popular discovery channel (or maybe history channel) show that followed around various groups of loggers and just about every episode had someone getting injured or barely escaping injury.

Deadliest Catch, similarly, highlighted the risk faced in one of the other most dangerous jobs, offshore fishing.

That's wonderful! Do loggers or fishers have the ability to kill someone off duty without repurcussions? Do they get paid similarly? Do we give them discounts at stores?

A single show vs an entire culture lol

Where I grew up we heated the house with wood and talked about professional loggers quite a bit.
