PRO LIFE! Death on the Job: Texas Says "NO" To Water Breaks in the Heat West Texas heat is deadly. It seems to be getting worse year after year. Texas has been experiencing record heat waves this week. Working outside when the heat index is above 110 is deadly. According to data analysis by The Texas Tribune, last year in Texas, there were 279 heat-related deaths in the state, the most since 1999. This seems like the perfect time for the State of Texas to pass laws mandating water breaks for workers required to work in the heat. Yet, this week Governor Abbott signed a law doing just the opposite. The Governor signed House Bill 2127, which will go into effect on September 1. This bill will nullify any local city ordinances that require water breaks for employees who work in the heat and prevent any local jurisdiction in the state from passing such laws in the future. This law has been called the "Death Star" law because it prevents any local city or county government in the state from passing laws that contradict anything in Texas state code in areas like agriculture, business and commerce, finance, insurance, labor, local government, natural resources, occupations, and poverty.
This is such a stupid article... it could have been tailored to a dozen different topics. Are you too ignorant to not see that? Here, allow me: "Death in the yard: Texas Says "NO" To Rabies Vaccines For Dogs" West Texas armadillo's are nasty. Known to carry multiple diseases, among which rabies remains prominent and the numbers are increasing year after year. This seems like the perfect time for the State of Texas to pass laws mandating all dogs be vaccinated to save our children from getting sick or even dying from this horrible disease, yet this week Governor Abbott signed a law doing just the opposite. The Governor signed House Bill 2127, which will go into effect on September 1. This bill will nullify any local city ordinances that require mandatory rabies vaccines and prevent any local jurisdiction in the state from passing such laws in the future. This law has been called the "Death Star" law because it prevents any local city or county government in the state from passing laws that contradict anything in Texas state code in areas like agriculture, business and commerce, finance, insurance, labor, local government, natural resources, occupations, and poverty. ~case closed
This is just another example of Abbott bringing death and misery to Texas. Remember he promised that all the power issues in the state were "solved".
Hardly. It's the same thing, The State changed the law and took some legislative powers from smaller entities. It probably applies to 100 different things. I guess you really are too myopic to see that. Whatever.
That sound you hear are the crickets rubbing their little wings together in a somewhat loud, yet melodic cacophony of "Case Closed".
It's not, one is imaginary and is about mandating vaccines to dogs? Other is real and is about consuming water Texas heat-related deaths reached a two-decade high in 2022 amid extreme temperatures https://www.texastribune.org/2023/01/26/texas-heat-deaths-migrants-climate-change/ The state changed the law because it doesn't care about people living or dying, that's Texas for you.
Dude... your lack of ability to see the forest thru the tree's misconstrues my for fun literary flare with the bigger picture. This: It really has nothing to do with rabies you simpleton. Omg. We're in trouble if this is the representative IQ of the generation behind the boomers.
