    Texas did this last summer.

    There are no national OSHA standards about heat exposure and only 3 states have them.

    Fun article about this: https://www.forbes.com/sites/maryroeloffs/2023/07/14/water-rest-and-shade-can-keep-workers-alive-in-extreme-heat-but-theyre-only-guaranteed-in-6-states/

      this shit is why i have to hate republicans more. they are actively trying to kill people and the only states with protections are blue states. Republicans are just straight up cartoonishly evil.

        Absolutely, Republicans are cartoon villains. They're completely, irredeemably evil. The reason we focus on shitting on the Democrats is because they're supposed to not be like that and increasingly failing.

          “Supposed to” it’s their job to divert discontent.

          “Failing” they are succeeding at their job.

          The republicans would not be possible without a controlled opposition

    If they don't allow cooler air for workers, then they and their voting base should have no air conditioning either. These greedy pigs should lead by example for once.
