I watched two men die on the job last summer because the developer rushed the pour and skipped the rebar inspection. That’s the real war — not some distant front, but right here, in the Texas heat, where men with my face get treated as disposable. I’ve seen senators pose with hard hats at ribbon cuttings while their laws let contractors walk after wage theft like it’s nothing. You want to talk about conflict? Talk about the silence when a worker falls. Talk about the kids who inherit the debt but not the deed to the buildings we built. This city stands on concrete mixed with sweat and lies, and nobody in power wants that story told.
