      Which might have just lost many of its teeth due to the overturning of Chevron. We are in the bad place.

    Crazy that we didn’t have this already.

    Also, how long before a Texas Judge overrules it thanks to Chevron being overturned?

      Within a week, but it’ll be a 10th amendment case or something that will work it’s way to SCOTUS and somehow they’ll use the case to rule OSHA’s existence is in violation of the 14th amendment.

    Deploy the National Guard to administrate it. Armed. If Texas or Florida cops try to come in between workers and heat relief, fire a couple warning shots. The cops won’t do shit. If they won’t even save school kids from an active shooter, they’re not gonna stop soldiers from supplying water to workers.

    Why does all this bullshit need an announcement about the announcement? Does every little thing need to be hyped up?

      People are suffering preventable deaths from climate change-related extreme heat, and you think this is bullshit? Also, it’s an election year. Of course Biden’s going to publicize his accomplishments…

        Then announce the actual accomplishments, not that you’re going to do something.

        and you think this is bullshit

        This particular thing isn’t bullshit, I’m just sick of politicians talking about the things they’re going to do, rather than doing things and telling us about what’s been done. So many times we get “I’m going to do thing” and then thing doesn’t happen.

          As someone who works outside frequently and in Texas, this is a very good thing.

          Texas recently blocked cities and counties from having heat stroke prevention rules for businesses.

          Florida did similarly as well.

          A rule like this will save lives (assuming it can survive the court system)

            It’ll be interesting seeing the details: heat stroke prevention is probably quite different most of the time up here in New England, compared to Texas. In any sane world, each state would have their own, tailored to the needs of local climate

              Yes, but in a sane world states like Texas and Florida that need this more than others would have more broad protections rather than banning help like they have done, needing the federal government to step in to protect the lives of their workers

          It’s also much easier to get things done with broad public support. You get broad public support by announcing the things you plan to do. The GOP uses every level of power they have to block any and all attempts at progress, so until we get off our asses and vote enough of them out, “what we plan to do” is the best we’re going to get a lot of the time.

      When you get clowns spewing “what has Biden really done?”, this is why you need the announcements.
