    Seriously, GOP is just more evil than any evil fantasy created. Could it be that they really are Satan and his underlings come to earth 🤔

          Not to absolve these people, but half of our government has been at full on war with education since at least Reagen. They’ve been fighting tooth and nail for an army of uneducated meat-bots for the past 40 years, and now their investments are paying off.

            And their war has been backed and funded by almost every big company. The amount of propaganda and lobbying pumped out against the people ever since Reagan has been insane

      The Reich wing found out that fighting a perpetual culture war where you make EVERYTHING out to be an attack on your sense of decency and morality and then have propaganda outlets do absolutely nothing else but harp on that culture war 24/7 and never report on your shit votes or comments is INSANELY effective at getting people to vote for you no matter how fucked up you are.

      This is legitimately some cartoon villain level BS. It’s the kind of thing I’d expect from a Captain Planet supervillain, like “hah I built a weather machine and am forcing everyone to work in the sweltering heat, just to create suffering” type of toony.

        The thing fiction authors never get right about villains is that evil people are evil in every aspect, not just evil in some.

      A lack of empathy gets you into a position of power so you can be effectively evil.

    They don’t see the people who will be affected by this as human

    They’re truly disgusting

      not just outdoors. I worked in manufacturing at a place where production was immediately next to annealing furnaces on one side, and shipping on the other, with big truck bay doors constantly open to the outside, no climate control except for box fans and semi-portable AC units, which were only appreciably effective in a small area a few feet directly in front of them. we were also required to wear cut-resistant gloves and sleeves up to the elbow, non-breathable full-length hi-vis uniforms, goggles, and hard hats at all times. there were a small handful of minor heat-related medical incidents every summer. I was honestly surprised when I found out there are no laws that address ambient temperature thresholds for work; OSHA only requires access to clean drinking water

        Those requirements are there to protect the company, not us.

        I’m from the U.K. FWIW but I’ve complained about heat in the summer and been told “there’s no max heat law” and the cold in the winter…and guess what??

          You need to lock your bosses pets or children in a large oven and cook then to at least the point of serious neurological damage. Only way they’ll learn without being too brain damaged to even boss you.

    It’s the hierarchy. If you didn’t want to die of heat stroke, you should’ve been an Elon Musk.
