    It’s funny, growing up near a steel mill/train hub, I took for granted how confused other people might be about what the hell “coke” is.

    On-topic - I once looked up stats for estimated premature deaths due to industry in our area and it was eye-opening. I really want to get out of here.

    Crazy how people have the ability to overlook/ignore deaths caused by things as long as the deaths are a bit more gradual. A hundred premature deaths over the course of a year or so is practically nothing on the public’s radar, but if an accidental release at the mill killed a single person downwind, there’d be hell to pay.
