In the land of sweltering heat, DeSantis and his Republican cohorts enact law endangering thousands.

What, 96 degrees in Miami is now considered to be "insane heat"? How do you get to blame the governor? This is NYT fiction written by someone named Patricia Mazzei. Extortionist anti American lefties buy it every time.
It’s the new retard way for blowing everything out of proportion. “Heat index” of “112” when its really just 96 with humidity.

These morons have to act like it’s the end of the world. Everything is “an emergency“ so they can take away rights and do whatever insane shit they want.
 
The law doesn’t ”ban” anything.

This was debunked when you shit libs fell for it when it first happened.

The law just removes the requirement of local governments to provide such breaks because it is completely unnecessary, it certainly does not “ban” them from doing so.

But you leftwing twats are so fucking stupid you fall for every Fake News headline and never actually read the details.
You moron, the law prohibits, bars, bans (choose your own word) local government from requiring employers to provide shade, water breaks and other relief during periods of extreme heat. It is just you right-wing hypocrites to trash local government when it suits your extreme agenda.

As far as the temperature goes, even the locals say it is abnormally hot. I’ll take the word of the locals over some idiot Internet warrior who lives a thousand miles away.

Interesting take. So it’s the government’s job to make sure workers have water and shade and warn people that the sun is hot.

Are leftists truly this helpless and required the government to babysit them 24/7?
Yeah! Employers never abuse their workers! No way! That's crazy lib talk!

Own them libs, son!
 
South Florida is in the midst of an unprecedented heat wave this early in the season. The heat index the last few days have reached temperatures of 112 degrees.

“It’s insane,” said John Morales, a meteorologist for ClimaData, a private weather forecasting and consulting firm, and a hurricane specialist at WTVJ-TV, the NBC station in Miami. “Not only is it insane, it is also dangerous.”


But this thread is not about climate change it is about the insane law passed by DeSantis and the Radical Florida Republican Party. Last month, DeSantis signed a law that banned local governments requiring outdoor workers be given heat and water breaks or relief from the heat.

“It was a direct response to Miami-Dade County’s effort to require shade and water for construction, farm and other outdoor workers.

But in a state where construction and farming are huge industries — Miami-Dade estimates more than 325,000 workers in that county alone — critics lambasted the bill that keeps local government from protecting workers from heat and sun. Democratic state Sen. Victor Torres called the new law an attack on workers.”



So in an effort to show he is tough guy and to further his climate change denialist agenda, DeSantis in cahoots with his radical Republican brethren, decide to endanger the lives and well-beings of tens of thousands of outdoor workers not just in Miami-Dade County but throughout the State of Florida.

So tell me what is the purpose of a law that prohibits local government from providing protections for outdoor workers such as , taking water and heat breaks, or providing them with relief, when it is 112 degrees outside? The law is just plain sadistic.

Of course all this does is once again show the hypocrisy of Republicans. They Love to talk about local government except when it conflicts with their own ideology.
Look, man. It's about owning the libs. If a few losers have to die, they did not give their lives in vain. They died for Merka, Jesus, and anti-wokism.

Average humidity in Miami is 84 percent.

Try working outdoors in 96 degrees with 84 percent humidity and come back and try to convince us you didn't need a break.

The average high in Miami in May is 86.

You've clearly never spent so much as a minute working in 96 degree heat with 84 percent humidity.

Every summer, up to 600 people die in Miami-Dade County, FL, from extreme heat exposure.

 
The Left is so concerned about working conditions yet they push Electric Vehicles and other “green” technologies that depend on African children to mine for Cobalt in the Congo. This day and age…. Child working conditions?
 
I'm sure that if a Democrat made a law like this these guys would not be asking for or showing ANY information. They'd be running their mouths. So just face the fact that DeSantis signed this just like Abbott did in Texas. Here we see the utter stupiduty of the rght wing ideology. The federal government needs to let states make decisions. Then when a state makes a decision, then that's too much government and it should be left up to local government. Then if local government makes a decision, that's too much government.

Gee, what have these workers in Florida, along with the rest of the southern states, done for the last several hundred years? All of sudden, this year it's a problem?

Well, red herring boi, cobalt has long been used by the oil and gas industries, too.

Yes it is Because it is getting hotter. What is wrong with local government requiring employers to provide protections for outdoor workers during periods of extreme heat? i Am amazed that so many wingers find this offensive.

The employees already have that protection through state and federal laws, why would local laws need to be passed in addition to those?

They wouldn't.

So, we purchase products from slaves in other nations instead of here and you have no issue with that. In fact, we would not be doing this every day on the internet forums as we realize it takes real work to build an economy.

It's getting 'hotter'? Hotter than what?

I don't find it offensive, I find it hilarious that you're using such a ridiculous lie to try to bash Desantis. You'll all forget all about him if he doesn't turn out to be the VP nominee, Floridians could drop dead from heat stroke and you wouldn't give a damn if he had a 'D' after his name. People are dropping dead from your party's forced 'vaccines', and it's never even discussed anywhere, you don't give a damn since you can't point a finger at anyone but your own filthy politicians.

Because state and federal standards are Vague and don’t cover many workers. This is from the recitals to the Miami-Dade Ordinance:

“WHEREAS, outdoor workers in Miami-Dade County currently lack federal, state, or local heat standards to guarantee basic life-saving protections, including access to heat illness education, access to shaded recovery periods, and first aid and emergency response procedures;“
