    It’s literally cartoon villain level headlines of evil and some people will still play the both sides game as if its a close call.

    Things like water, shade, and breaks are somehow woke, and can be added to the pile of totally normal and reasonable things that benefit nearly everyone but are now bad because the angry person on tv made this face while talking about it 😡

    Business groups and lobbyists have aggressively opposed efforts at state and federal levels to enact heat protection standards for workers, claiming employers already practice what a standard would mandate, expressing concerns about the burden on employers, and claiming the efforts take a “wrong approach”.

    No matter what regulations were implemented, regulators would have to watch them like a hawk to make sure they complied anyway. Also - people wouldn’t be dying if the current standards were sufficient for the current climate.

      “We don’t need your standards, we already do all of that!”

      Also, “We can’t afford to do all of that!”
