First of all, thank you to all the coal miners, truckers, migrant workers, air traffic controllers, oil rig people, land fill workers, and of course, cheerleaders (that one is iffy) for making our world a very comfortable world. I love the way Laskas wrote about the people, but included the backgrounds of these workers that don't work to be recognized, yet make our lives plush. I also appreciated her research into the gun industry and cheerleaders, but I don't know how they directly effect me. Despite that, I still learned the hard work and the dedication it takes to do those jobs. All of the jobs, actually.
Fascinating read that I would rank up there with Malcom Gladwell and the Freakenomics type of books. Who knew I could love non-fiction? Thank you, Ms. Laskas.
