Good. It should be part of OSHA.
- 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.
- How fast can they get it in front of one?
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.
Good. So many red states took away heat protections for 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...
  
  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.
- When you get clowns spewing “what has Biden really done?”, this is why you need the announcements.
- Do you regularly see the things announced by an administration, other than in the news?…
