It is just a power struggle. State control over municipalities.

Abbott does not want municipalities usurping his power to control all.

Ignorant statement. It's just the opposite. He doesn't want government mandating rules to business.

He does not the people’s representatives, the people, mandating rules for businesses no matter how unscrupulous those business are in oh so many ways.

Greed trumps quality of life.

No thank you. One can only take so much of your nonsense explanations.

I believe the word mandatory is what is objectionable. No one is saying you can't take a water break. Seems stupid though.

I do understand that but will acknowledge the companies now can stop all water breaks for their i******s who would never report the abuse.

At the same time, do we as republicans want to fight and die on this hill or the hill of draconian a******n laws??

I wrote on this before today, but let me set everyone straight. Dehydration is a very serious problem. I speak from experience and pushing my limits and beyond via athletic activity. And work is just as serious whether it is outside in extreme heat, or inside in extreme heat.

Water is mandatory to replace bodily fluids lost through evaporation, in an attempt by the body to lower body temperatures, by evaporation of water from the surface of the body. And various salts are also necessary in the replenishment of these bodily fluids. Marathoners have died while hydrated, because of the lack of basic salts in the body from sweating. Hence the serving of Gatorade or equivalent at all marathons. I was once a block away from a marathoner who died. Saw the ambulance take him away. He drank plenty of water, but not the Gatorade.

If you are in extreme heat and your body surface is dry, you are already in trouble. Your internal body temperature is already rising and above normal and racing to deadly. I had a friend who was at these levels while running a race and his bodily temperature was near 106 when found and rescued. Nearly k**led him. His organs were shutting down.

As for Texas and the law. Sometimes it takes extreme measures to stop a hodgepodge of wacky laws. But if I was a Representative in Texas right now, either party, but hopefully getting both parties involved, I would push for standard statewide laws on heat and hydration. This law should be based on a heat index, and common sense. Workers should even be given a camel back over certain temperatures, and the right to replenish when empty. And there should be maximum temperatures for workers to be asked to continue working except in emergencies. And this should also be related to the stress of the job and the personal generating of heat. And in extreme emergencies, rotating shifts to relieve and recover maximum efficiency of workers.

Sitting jobs might require less relief at 110 degrees, while digging ditches by hand might need to be changed every hour at 100 degrees.

Enough said.

I think the Republicans should leave a******n to the states, as it is now law, and leave the issue alone. I am 100% against a******n. I believe it is the taking of an innocent life. However: you will never legislate morality. To change the number of a******ns we need to change hearts. For instance; many women who wanted an a******n have changed their mind after an ultrasound. Let unwed mothers know their are alternatives to a******n. Free up the adoption mess people go through. Fund Pregnancy clinics. Lot could be done IMO.

A lot could be done but there is no political will. The objective has been met. No more murders.

And the tax increases to cover the costs of pre and post natal care and the child’s welfare would be met with resistance from the same people who got the laws past.
