Heat

"Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida and Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas, both Republicans, signed legislation to prevent local governments from requiring heat protections for outdoor workers." The ones at risk are mostly brown people, so why should the Governors care if workers die? As the Chamber of Commerce is happy to remind you, these rules would be a big burden for businesses, cut into profits, slow economic growth. Just because each year sets new heat records this shouldn't affect capital accumulation or investment decisions. You can always find more workers, right? There is no reason we can't shift production to the north. Maybe the whole Sun Belt thing is over. Lots of folks are moving to Oregon, Michigan, places like that. America on the move!
