indulgence , in [KHOU-11] 24-hour boil water notice issued for Texas City residents after E. coli found in water supply, officials say

At first I was thinking how click bait the title was not mentioning the actual city in Texas, until I clicked the link and realized it’s Texas City in Texas 🤣

"Spending time with family" has been used euphemistically often enough I can't tell if this is literally true.

conditional_soup , in [Texas Tribune] “We are dying”: Houston workers protest new state law removing water break requirements

I think of stuff like this when people say that the point is cruelty. Honestly, how much more work can anyone believe that they’re going to squeeze out of heat exhausted workers by denying shade and water breaks? It doesn’t make sense as a productivity measure, but some dip shit manager is still going to make people do it just to flex on them.

Houston: wow nobodies going outside anymore because it's an unlivable hell world between 9AM and midnight.

Other cities: how did you reduce your homeless population?!?!
