Pro Life! Pro Working Class!
Pro life as long as it’s not that useless prenatal care, and excluding everyone who’s already born. Once you’re born I’m not your mama freeloaders. All on you junior. It’s not my problem you’re not independently wealthy at the age of two.
glad to see he's fighting the big problems like protecting people from the sun and not literally anything important. Its a good thing government doesn't pay for healthcare because the increased number of heatstrokes would just be terrible to pay for.
Right cause that's the other thing about single payer healthcare, the single payer actually has a fiscal responsibility to keep people from needing it
Man, people have been feeling real patriotic about killing their fellow Americans lately, though I'm sure Florida is hoping the death toll has a particular skin tone.
I think it's pretty darned patriotic to kill fascists and slavers no matter their nationality.
I try not to advocate for the deaths of my countrymen, the fact they don't really share that same sentiment makes it rather difficult, but I like to think there's a solution to our current ideological predicament that minimizes blood spilled.
Presidential Immunity is Democracy
Prohibition is freedom
History is woke
Head canon: Florida is the laboratory where they're trying to see how bad they can make it before people pop off. The experiment was supposed to end decades ago.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A new law recently signed by Ron DeSantis, Florida’s Republican governor, that prohibits any municipalities in the state from passing heat protections for workers ensures that it is likely to stay that way.
Torres has seen a co-worker die from heatstroke and another rushed to the emergency room in his years of working in construction in south Florida.
Costa Farms was included on the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health’s Dirty Dozen report of unsafe employers in 2024.
Orlando Weekly reported on texts from corporate lobbyists to lawmakers urging them to pass the heat exemption bill before the end of the legislative session.
Jeannie Economos, an organizer with the Farmworker Association of Florida, said worker advocacy groups opposing HB433 were hoping the clock would run out for the bill to get passed by the state legislature.
“It’s incomprehensible that people who live in Florida, and are supposed to represent the people of Florida, can vote against the health and safety of the workers that make this economy run, who were considered essential workers just a couple years ago and given PPE, are now treated like this, and not giving protection from extreme heat,” said Economos.
The original article contains 1,052 words, the summary contains 196 words. Saved 81%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Florida republicans are going to tank their own economy/workforce then Pikachu-face when they get fucked over
