Cruelty IS the point.

Edit: A few fun thoughts on this:

1. I love the hypocracy of the Florida GOP here in that they’re part of all the state’s rights horse shit they circlejerk themselves over when they don’t want to do what the majority of the country’s decided to make law quoting tyranny of big government. Local municipalities take that to heart and instead they get the tyranny of big state gov’t and told they’re not allowed.

2. All of the workers being put in danger should walk off the jobsite during the proposed break times.

3. The workers should file a lawsuit challenging this like the chucklefucks in the GOP do to everything they don’t agree with.

4. Guillotine.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Ron DeSantis ® has signed legislation barring local and municipal governments from requiring their own heat protections for workers.

The bill’s passage comes after the state’s most populous county, Miami-Dade, considered local heat protection rules that would have been among the most stringent in the country.

That proposal would have required employers to provide shade, water and 10-minute breaks to workers every two hours on days over a certain heat threshold.

“Instead of addressing the skyrocketing insurance crisis or protecting our workforce, the Governor chose to abandon millions of hard-working Floridians and leave our state even more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change,” Sierra Club Florida Political Director Luigi Guadarrama said in a statement.

“Instead of offering real solutions for working families, HB433 will endanger the health and lives of thousands of outdoor workers in our state.”

Another confounding variable is the challenge of incorporating noncitizens, including immigrants lacking permanent legal status and guest workers, into the data.

The original article contains 469 words, the summary contains 159 words. Saved 66%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

The headline is misleading. The bill bans requiring heat protection. We don’t appreciate clickbait here, even if DeSantis is a canker.
