Record heat is dangerous for workers outside. Even so, Governor Abbott just signed a law preventing local communities from enacting laws for mandatory water breaks.

Note to everyone: this isn't a recent thing. This has to do specifically with a whole propaganda campaign they ran about Biden not letting 'hard working people' do their job by limiting heat exposure at 80 degrees and above.
Which is true, he's pushing for heat regulations because, and this is true, there were no federal regulations prior to this. Biden did something great so of course Abbott had to go and be an idiot
