There is no shortage of bi-polar gun nuts among those hard hat union
guys Harry loves so much.

What does that have to do with how many whack jobs are in the military??

Just putting it perspective.

How would you know what the incidence of bipolar disorder might be among
organized construction workers?

By knowing lots of them.
One of the byproducts of my working class, no higher education,
proletariat life is I spent most of my life around the rank and file,
not the union leaders and business agents you sipped coffee with.

I also spent a lot of time around the trades here in Florida. The most
depressed are northern union types who moved here because there was no
work up there. Judy had a guy just recently (Michigan steelworker) who
she thought was most likely to show up and shoot everyone.
The club manager was afraid to fire him.

I've been in the construction industries all of my life, and that idea
that construction workers are more likely to be bi-polar than the
general population is pure horse****.

The reality is that Greg has absolutely no idea what the incidence of
serious emotional/mental disorders might be among "hard hat union guys."
He's just trying to parlay his little bit of anecdotal info into a
universal truth. He does that a lot.
