A single panel comic with a malformed, slightly damaged, yet freshly built home in the background. In the foreground, a man in a hard hat and a reflective vest is speaking to another man, presumably the buyer, saying, “It’s called vibe construction. I’m not even a contractor! Pretty soon all buildings will be made this way.”

    For my experience a decent portion of construction workers are on drugs, on and off site, so it doesn’t surprise me.

    • There seems to be a misconception and what I said. Not suggesting they aren’t hurrying and doing a shoddy job. My point is is you can’t work solid 18 hours day after day. It’s not possible without a recovery. But to avoid that they take drugs.

    So you have a whole bunch of sloppy jobs that aren’t done properly, by people who need r&r, not meth, cocain or opioids.

    That’s why it doesn’t surprise me

      There are a lot of drugs, but “stupid mistakes made while hurrying, and then not taking the time to fix them” is the #1 issue. Everyone is obsessed with hurrying, and few people recognize how mucy time is wasted by hurrying. It’s bad. I plan to build a house by myself next year, because I can’t find contractors/workers who will go slowly enough to avoid making mistakes. They just want to do more fast, crappy projects so they can make more money, which I can understand, but don’t respect.
