Would you risk your life for a very high-paying job like this?

[lightbulb27]

Like working on tankers that need to get through the straight of hormuz right now, when Iran says it is shut down (e. g. they will attack ships not Russian/Chinese).

Insurance rates are way up and thus workers could potentiallly make a lot of money in a single day... if they survive.

Yes, I'd do the job

No, I wouldn't take that risk

Here's one you can fight for... what kind of men do this to a young girl?

Hey, I was dumb enough to risk my life for a low paying job for 15 years. Practically zero life insurance.

[lightbulb27]

professional wrestler?

[OneViewpoint]

You could call it that. But we were paid way less than what the WWE offers.

No! I saw what happened to Tom Hanks in that movie where he was captain of a tanker ship. I would, however, consider working on an Israeli tanker. Those folks know how to deal with pirates. 🤣

I would take the job because the risk is insignificant if Iran doesn't see us as a threat. Possibly, Iran may board our ship and order us to go back, but they will not harm us.

[lightbulb27]

really... I get the impression they'd fire drones which USA cannot intercept so well, and blow them up. the straight is largely shut down...

[Kelley1]

Obviously, you believe the lies and propaganda from the US Media.

[lightbulb27]

why would the us media try to convince us the straight is shut down. for the most part, shipping is not passing through.
The increase in insurance rates on ships tells the story that the risk is much higher...

[Kelley1]

Because people like you believe whatever they say.

[DryGermanGuy]

Yeah, I could see me doing that. It's not exactly on the battle frontline.

[Miristheiss]

Age 20-25, I probably would have.

Depends on the pay.

[WindAtMyBack]

I risked my life for a low paying job. Every day when I went to work I knew I could be seriously injured or even dead before the end of the day. So sure, I'd do it for a high paying job.

[Pterodon]

I’m a Navy vet and hell yes I’d volunteer. The US Navy is escorting them

[jshm2]

Its actually not that bad

[lightbulb27]

you have inside knowledge?

[Hagar88]

Depends on how high paid. For the risk you'd have to get $200 thousand after tax.

[exitseven]

if I was younger I would do it.

[Agape93]

Let me shoot at the pirates then hell yeah I would

[LC75LC71]

I've already made my pay..

[beefcakebradybatson]

No and there are no buxom blondes there !!!

[Jeff51]

Nope
