    Florida has passed legislation banning local safety rules for outdoor workers, despite heat stress set to cost global economy $2.4tn by 2030

      I think that those in power really don’t care about the people working in our fields and roads.

        I think that enough humans want to actively make the world worse that they will gladly vote for it. “I get more power and status if other people are treated like cattle.”

        Failure is comforting. It asks nothing of you. You just wait for that failure to hurt someone else even more grievously, and then you laugh. Many people are happy to vote for complete and total failure.

        Not caring would mean having no legislation. This is actively hating them, by banning legislation that would help them.

        As has been true for essentially all of human history. They don’t call us serfs anymore but little else has changed.
