Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has signed legislation barring local and municipal governments from requiring their own heat protections for workers. The law, House Bill 433, blocks local governments…
Yes… that’s exactly my point? The state is banning municipalities from requiring heat protection. It’s not outlawing air-conditioning. It’s outlawing mandatory air-conditioning.
You should realize how terrible it is that DeSantis is doing this. Countless workers will not have aircon during the blistering Florida summer as a result.
You’re being facetious about the AC, I get it. You also clearly have never done real work in the heat before. People will die because some chucklefuck corpo thinks 10 minutes and a glass of water is enough on a construction site in a Florida summer.
I used to live in Brisbane without air con, but at some point my ability to tolerate humidity and temperature disappeared. I’m no longer a severely underweight child and am now an adult alcoholic, I guess
The headline is misleading. The bill bans requiring heat protection. We don’t appreciate clickbait here, even if DeSantis is a canker.
It’s not misleading when Miami Dade was looking at the most stringent heat protection laws in the country.
There was going to be heat protection. Instead the state government override the will of local government to ban it.

I legitimately thought the headline was saying AC would be banned. I am stupid.
Nothing misleading about it. It bans protections, not protection.
Gotcha. I did not know this meaning.
I’ll tell the admin
Air conditioning being banned would cripple Florida, I imagine
Yep. It’s awful
