House Bill 2127, which takes effect on Sept. 1, will do away with local rules that require water breaks for construction workers. The cities of Austin and Dallas, for example, require 10-minute breaks every four hours. San Antonio officials had been considering a similar ordinance.

“We are human beings who need respect,” Martínez said. “We really need to be allowed to work without problems, without any barriers … Believe me, we are dying inside those buildings when they take away our water and our [break] time.”

        If you’re too poor you’re literally sent to a gulag and forced into slave work.

        They got chain gangs in Florida, in this prison where they eat meat scraps for alligators; the packaging says ‘not suitable for human consumption’.

          Watching Joe Arpaio proudly show off his concentration camp in Arizona to Chinese diplomats and with a grin talk about how they put women in chain gangs, earning hardly veiled disgust from the representatives of the second most brutal regime on earth.
