Totally sensible and not at all an irrational thing to do
Yeah, he's seriously an asshole. I just moved down to Miami from NJ, and even though it gets really hot and humid up there, it's stupid hot down here. The humidity makes a massive difference. Today, it was 78 and about 55% humidity and a relatively low dew point, and it was comfortable. Yesterday, it was also 78, but like 80% humidity and high dew point, and it was sweltering. In my dance class, I was literally drenched in sweat even though the people that had been down here for a while weren't.
It's very rational when you are a Republican bigot and you know that basically all of those workers are poor and most of them minorities, many of whom are immigrants. Fucking over poor and brown people is the rational thing to do when you want a white ethnostate with chattel slavery.
They just keep dyin' on me! NoBoDy WaNtS tO wOrK aNyMoRe!
At least when somebody dies from heat stroke, they're not living in Florida anymore. There are worse outcomes.
Well it ain’t “surviving in Florida” because that’s an oxymoron.
WWJD? Jesus would tell farm workers to keep picking and they might get some water later.
It's also the coolest summer for the rest of our lives. It'll only get worse from here, and the Repugs want people to suffer even more from it.
They want the poor and working classes to suffer so they can save a buck and lower the AC a couple degrees.
Florida saw some of the draconian measures Texas is enacting and said "Hold the phone, and my beer, I got this".
This is sadism, and a move in the class war.
Ensuring workers don't overheat is the more profitable thing to do, they are giving up some profit specifically to harm those in the working class that they hate.
The state of course prevents one from defending oneself against such clear attacks. This is why the state (not Florida, the state) is the problem.
Freedom and Liber-tea!
