5937 - Ah Texas


Here's the headline from the Texas Tribune...


Yep, Abbott and the conservatives looking out for the working man are eliminating a law that covers water breaks.

"Gov. Greg Abbott gave final approval to a law that will eliminate local rules mandating water breaks for construction workers."

"Texas is the state where the most workers die from high temperatures, government data shows."

Hiss and spit. Which the workers may no longer be able to do.

Even for Texas, this is ridiculous. Greg Abbott is totally off the rails.

Abbott is an idiot, those workers should go on strike but then they'd get fired and we all know how hard it is to get another job.

Insanity.

Wow, such craziness!

Simply maintaining our logic in the face of this nonsense is a radical act. Stay radical Mike! I think a lot of people are waking up to what's going on

They should sue - cruel and unusual punishment is making someone work in the heat without water breaks.

Texas marches to its own drummer.

Revolting. Someone should cut off Abbott's water supply.
