Working in America - reflection on safety


Working in the USA was a crazy thing. There was a nasty overlap between an employee's freedom to carry a gun, and the jitters that gave me when I monitored the speed with which pain-killers were consumed from the lunch-room in the Costco industrial packs of Panadol - let alone the valium, Ritalin and a million other pharmaceuticals that got the team through the day.

While in Minneapolis, the gun law was changed in some electoral skullduggery to allow concealed handguns to be carried. We foreigners never felt safe again.

As always - crappygraph.com comes to the rescue with a simple illustration of the problem!
