Shitty law, but it’s not even in effect yet.

Yeah, because as we know, no general contractor would leap at the opportunity to start early  lol

Nah, let’s wait until the law passes and people die first, that’s a great idea! /s

People are already dying in the heat. Remove water breaks and it gets worse. Are you fucking 12?

In Houston today, it’s going to feel like 43°C (110°F). When I go outside in that heat even for a second or two, I‘m already too hot, need a water break, and wonder how anyone can survive working in that.

I don’t know how anyone with a conscience could feel that heat and think removing water breaks for the workers is fine.

Maybe I’m just a stupid communist though and should try losing my conscience or something…

If you use celsius as a default, I doubt you live in Houston.

I prefer the metric system – my weather app is set to Celsius and the Farenheight was a conversion. While I don’t live in Houston, I do live in Texas currently.

You’re right, only people who live in Houston, Texas are allowed to comment on how dangerous and degrading this is. I’m sure there’s no possibility of other red states adopting it or similar.

/s

I will never understand people who argue in favor of their own rights being taken away.

Nice topic dodge. Tell me more about how other temperature systems are bad for people who are dying from heat stroke.
