Saied Hussain has been hand making tiles out of cement for over 50 years. He says he’s one of the last still doing this work in Egypt — most other workshops couldn't withstand competition from marble and ceramic tiles. We went to Cairo to see how his business is still standing.

Saied does not have a website. He sells his tiles locally in Cairo.

Ahh! A working man all his life, and an artist at that! How's the Left supposed to identify with him?! They hadn't worked a day in their life!

"Reeeeee-Ing" is a legitimate form of self expression h requires thought, time and effort. Thus Low IQ tantrum throwing is a legitimate form of hard work.
