      That’s kind of the cruelty of capitalism. You can coerce people do unsafe or unpleasant things, but it gets framed as a favour because hey they’re getting paid.

      Whereas if the person you were paying was truly comfortable and didn’t need money for survival, there is a chance that they would forego working on that kind of night.

      Those dollars won’t mean much when they’re being buried. I lost an employee many years ago when the company insisted we go into the office during an ice storm and he swirved into a tractor trailer. It was an entirely senseless and avoidable death.
