Ok if youre happy with 20 or 21 we should bold one of them.

Im happy with either but have a slight preference for 20.

I'm kinda thinking this is 18 or 19, not 21. It's too specific to be a 21, imo, and there has been a recent-ish history of layoffs.

To argue for a 21: lots of money moves around the federal government, union jobs are pretty safe and the current ruling party isn't cutting the bureaucracy any time soon.

So, I think lower

I was thinking it's 21, but I was looking at the scale as risk of serious injury/death, rather than risk of losing your job. In that regard, it's hard to imagine anything much safer than an accountant (unless paper cuts are a big concern of yours), and then the rest of it was just to add enough flavour to hit 21.

But I don't really wanna argue with the Canadian about this, so I'm cool with lower.

Seems a weird clue for anything lower than 20 though imo, unless you're giving this clue to a bunch of Canadians.

Yeahhh... I was thinking of it as risk of harm, too.

I feel like they're gotta be a memier 21, but it still kinda feels like maybe that's what he was still going for?

Are union accountants a thing? Are they tied up with the mob? Do people storm government buildings in Canada the way they do here?

I would've guessed 20 for this every time, so I have no clue.

It's weirdly specific, but maybe that's just to make it as safe a job as possible? Rather than trying to meme it? My gut says 19, but if you both think higher then we can go with that

Yeah, I was trying to think of what the meme 21 would be and couldn't really come up with anything that wasn't made up (like pillow tester or something). As far as real jobs go, is there anything obviously "safer" than this?

That was an x-post. I think it's gotta be either 19 or 21, so if you feel strongly about 19, then I'm fine with it.

Professional napper?

I'm fine going with the will of the Canadian either way.

It was 21

Accountant is kind of a meme for a physically safe job (the paper cut..lol ). But, I was thinking that a private sector accountant might be pressured to fudge the books, so I put some some protection from that with the unionized job in a stable federal government. That addressed job security too, but that was not my main goal. I was mostly piling on to make sure you saw me up-playing all this.

20 seems to be the coverage pick unless something is a dead lock for 21, so happy with 3 points. Good job team.
