Why? Why would you do this, besides just enjoying torturing people? If you don't make a state law to protect people, that is one thing. But prohibition municipalities from trying to do so is just plain evil.
What was his justification for this?
Don't you know by now?
Cruelty.
Cruelty isnt a sideeffect.
Cruelty is the core point of action.
Republicans are all about casual cruelty to anyone and everyone (Thats not them). Why? The same reason disturbed kids torture animals. because they get off on it.
His excuse was some bs about, "companies should be allowed to decide for themselves without having the government mandate it for them".
This, from the same guy who wants the government to decide what aspects of history schools can and cannot teach, or what books libraries can and cannot include.
Very consistent, Ronny.
I don't know the justification, but I imagine the why is that some wealthy construction company owner asked for it because providing shade/water/whatever would reduce profits, and the bribe costed marginally less than the protecting their employees.
Oh sure, I get that. That part is pretty obvious.
I was just wondering about how he sold this idea to his voters as something positive.
It's like... You'll all get anal probes with raspy tools, and it's not to check for cancer! Okaaayyy, but how are you ever going to convince people that this is a good thing (tm)?
They'd bribe even if water and shade was cheaper.
because its not about the money.
its about cruelty and putting the peasants in their place.
money, what the fuck do you think
Honestly, Nestle should step in and bribe him to require employers to provide water. Just any water, and Nestle would still see a significant increase in sales.
NESTLE, USE YOUR EVIL FOR GOOD
