So called authorities made laws that allowed employers to treat workers like slaves and not require water or rest breaks. The authorities are complicit.

... just kicked my hatred of the Republican Party up a few hundred notches.
I dunno... what comes after "Supernova"?

I do some light weeding and in 15 minutes soaked all over. At the very least, they should have a cooler full of water they can grab every ten minutes or so. It’s amazing to see roofers out everyday doing 12 hours a day in summer. Some have been doing it twenty years. Amazing.

De Santis killed that man with the flick of his wrist.


Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a law that prevents cities or counties from creating protections for workers who labor in the state's often extreme and dangerous heat.

Two million people in Florida, from construction to agriculture, work outside in often humid, blazing heat.

For years, many of them have asked for rules to protect them from heat: paid rest breaks, water, and access to shade when temperatures soar. After years of negotiations, such rules were on the agenda in Miami-Dade County, home to an estimated 300,000 outdoor workers.

But the new law, signed Thursday evening, blocks such protections from being implemented in cities and counties across the state.
