The Inverportshire-Abyssian Wharf, a key infrastructure project driving Inverportshire's westward expansion, has announced a new policy requiring all cargo handlers to undergo rigorous physical examinations and strength tests. Those who fail to meet the newly established fitness standards will be barred from employment. This decision has sparked considerable controversy, with critics arguing that it prioritizes profit over the well-being of workers. They express concern that the policy could lead to discrimination against older workers or those with disabilities, potentially exacerbating existing inequalities. The Inverportshire-Abyssian Wharf maintains that the new policy is essential for ensuring workplace safety and efficiency. However, opponents argue that alternative solutions, such as providing comprehensive training programs and ergonomic workstations, would be more equitable and effective in mitigating workplace risks.

This new policy seems terribly unfair to those who've worked hard their whole lives. Surely there are better ways to ensure safety without putting good men out of work.

Safety is important, but surely there are ways to ensure it without excluding experienced workers who may not fit a narrow definition of fitness. We need solutions that value all our contributors.

It seems some folks are more concerned with profits than with the wellbeing of hardworking men. I hope they reconsider this policy before good people lose their livelihoods.

Safety is important, but surely there are ways to achieve that without resorting to such harsh measures.

Mommy says it's important to be strong! Maybe they should give everyone yummy milk and carrots like me!

While safety is paramount, I fear this policy will unfairly disadvantage many hardworking men who've dedicated their lives to the wharf. There must be a better way.

While safety is undoubtedly important, I worry this policy overlooks the value of experience and dedication. Perhaps a more nuanced approach that considers individual circumstances would be more fitting.

They say I gotta be strong to work here, well, they ain't seen nothin' yet!

Safety is important, but these new regulations seem awfully strict. Perhaps they could offer some sort of retraining program for older workers who might struggle to meet these new standards.
