Bullshit, The Guardian is as credible as they come.

If he wants to commute, fine so long as he has to take a regular commercial jet like the rest of us.

Get there two hours early, check in, go through airport security, wait at the gate, then board. Then do it again at the end of the day.

We'll see how long he could put up with that before thinking he should really not try to commute 1,000 miles away.

That one recently with the 2.3 billion record data breach is pretty bad, and we collectively had no way to prevent it since it was through a private company.

Government contracts? Those defense contracts can be very lucrative.

The CEO should ideally have the exact same name as the company. Like Tim Apple.

Or Sam Sung.

From one of the disgusting opinion pieces linked in the Guardian article, written by a corpo douchebag.

But the route to continued progress is critical, and a recent misstep by Miami-Dade County could result in an existential crisis for two of the county’s largest industries: agriculture and construction.

Existential? Ten minute water breaks every two hours will cause an existential crisis? Bullshit.

Proponents point to increased heat incidents in the community, but offer no evidence that ties those occurrences to being work-related or work-caused, let alone related to the agriculture and construction industries.

It's pretty self evident that working outside in hot conditions, at the requirement of your employer, is by definition a work related activity.

Our industries never were approached by the proposals supporters or its commission sponsors before it was introduced.

Because you all would say no? This argument reeks of corporate entitlement.

it creates a new county “heat police” department funded by the fines they issue on our companies.

Regulation without enforcement is toothless. Also it isn't like these companies like these constantly skirt regulations anyway and get hit with minor fines that might as well be considered the cost of doing business.

Proponents claim this ordinance will help build stronger agriculture and construction industries here. In reality, it will only wear them down and tear them apart.

Heat-striken workers are less productive, which has much more of an impact than 0.8 hours water breaks over the course of an entire day.

How long until this guy gets hired on in another precinct?

Not just regular mustard, but the fancy Dijon shit. The type that you can find right next to the regular yellow mustard and is typically only slightly more expensive ($0.20) per 12 FL oz.

At least this guy will no longer have access to guns after this.
