    This “article” also doesn’t mention a single death due to being deprived of a water break. There’s zero mention of anyone asking for and being denied water. Some of the deaths were hikers. It’s “water breaks were banned” and then “people died,” and nobody’s reading the article to find out those two statements are tied together for sensationalism alone. Nobody was denied a water break and died because of it. Lame journalism.

      The heat deaths highlight the danger of passing the law even if the law itself hasn’t directly caused any deaths yet. It’s like passing a law against yelling “Shark!” at the beach when there’s a great white in the area.

      “Oh but Mary was pulled under before anyone had noticed the shark in the first place. The law didn’t contribute to her death at all.” Technically true but… what the fuck are we doing guys?
