Shop Truths, Phrases, Tales; and Outright Lies

[Toolmaker51]

Oooooh Look what the web hath wrought!
I'm up early this US Labor Day with no thought in mind other than getting the elusive initial setting of brake shoes to new drums. Previous attempts are disappointing. Anyway, opening Google, it's awash with pink-fingered layabouts heaping praise on 'workers' (apparently laborers now a demeaning phrase), gushing praise for what we do...via twitter, facebook, instagram ad infinitum. However, the pictograms depict NONE of the folks toting spud wrenches, shovels, washrags, weld stingers, survey tools, hack saws, or brooms; nor erecting cranes, elbow deep cleaning engine parts, tending crops, conducting forestry, breaking down forest fires...yet spout that tired refrain "they're fighting for us".
********.
Meanwhile pointing out many are the very same well-wishing ilk who shut down pipeline, construction and other infrastructure projects.

Hmmm. That series of asterisks are not result of my careful typing. I've been canceled? Quantity reflects however exactly those of phrase.
OK! Substitute El Toro PooPoo, aka Mountains of Guano, or the waste ushered away by another unsung infrastructure, our first world sewer system.
Somehow, I'm now even more satisfied.
