> Your description suggests the tent is actually better than the factory building in such climates (even ones with occasional below freezing temperatures).

No, the op was struggling to think of a reason why a worker might request to work in a tent.

I suggested that it might be due to the climate.

You're arguing that it's inconceivable that anyone in that climate might volunteer to work outside because one time in the last 4 years the temperature got down to 32F in the dead of winter in the middle of the night.

Have you ever been to Fremont? It's gorgeous year round.



I am the OP and I’m still struggling to understand how working in a tent at potentially freezing outside temps (see link above for minimums and average minimums) can be anywhere close to comfortable. You have to keep in mind that work doesn’t stop on those days (or nights). And I’m pretty sure it’s not just a 9-5 shift.

Obviously the people found the need for radiators which can be very dangerous in that environment.


No one ever said it was. You're making up a fiction you can defeat.
