More leftist indoctrination. This time 20 minutes in. "They're happy to let people die in order to makemoney." BULL, it costs more money to train new employees than to keep the old ones around and/or alive. Add in the high skill level of said workers, the employers demand for their skill combined with the inherently dangerous work, means they are very valuable employees and to a man command very good pay for their services. Then there is the almost assured contractual life insurance payout if they died on the rig. Plus the cost of body transport, investigation, risk of lawsuit. And if 20 people had died on a rig in a year (not as a result of the thing exploding, itself a near impossible feat with all the safety redundancies in place) EVERYONE would know about it. It WOULD be a big deal. This claim is absolute stupidity.
Only the fact the episode doesn't focus on this angle, saves it; even from the obvious derisive attitude approach to the woman-can-do-no-wrong situation which should have been handled in at best a neutral manner.
