Ok can see your point. Seems like there's a lot of angles you could view this story from

I see family members picking up kids at school each day dressed exactly how they get off of work. Some of them are laborers, driving work trucks and dressed exactly how they were when they were roofing or pouring concrete Just before picking up their kids.

I'm not trying to bring down what this guy did. I just think that This is being portrayed as a feel-good story but really is an indictment of abusive and exploitative practices of labor in this country. There are dangerous and exhausting and inflexible jobs being worked all over the country and working parents are trying the best to get time to be with their families. The fact this guy had to do this isn't noble in so much that it's shitty that society doesn't expect this kind of thing as feasible.

Okay I'm going to be a downer. I'm glad the kid got to go with his dad but how is this news. Parents get off work and go straight to events with their kids all the time. They just aren't carrying visible markers of their profession.
