Texas heat wave puts spotlight on Abbott’s cruel ‘Death Star bill’

As Texas faces brutal temperatures, a looming law that will affect local ordinances — such as mandatory breaks for construction workers — has people worried.

By Ja'han Jones

A historic heat wave in Texas is turning up the temperature on Gov. Greg Abbott after his recent signing of a controversial law known by critics as the “Death Star bill.”

Last week, I wrote a post about the Republican governor’s signing of the legislation, which has been nicknamed after the central space station used by villains in various “Star Wars” films. The signing marked yet another effort by Republicans at the federal and state levels to impose conservative policies by force, even in liberal communities that don’t vote for them.

When the new Texas law takes effect Sept. 1, it will prevent localities from passing ordinances that contradict state law if those local regulations pertain to agriculture, business and commerce, finance, insurance, labor, local government, natural resources, occupations or property. In addition, state law will supersede existing regulations in those areas — including local rules that protect workers and ensure housing equality.

For example, Dallas and Austin began mandating that construction workers receive regular breaks in the Texas heat. But since the protections aren’t in the state code, the Death Star bill will effectively eliminate them.

Last week, at least two people in Texas died after working in the heat, a utility lineman and a mail carrier. And over the past few days, the state has recorded some of the hottest temperatures on the planet. The intense heat is a reminder of the conditions that many workers will face, with little to protect them, once the Death Star bill takes effect.

I think the Houston Chronicle’s editorial board offered one of the clearest takes on the matter with its recent call for federal officials to establish rules around work breaks:

We worked on some darn hot days doing air hammers on Illinois State Highways. At first they had salt tablets, but they took those away from us.

That's all MSM/Bidet/DNC bullshit.

“The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone.
TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy…
but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone.”

I want you to know global boiling is bullshit but I think you already know that. Me and Nancy recorded our temperatures in new braunfels. 130 in the summer was the average.

James Okeefe reported on this before vertais turned judas. The CNN blow dart dude if you remember correctly. Climate change was supposed to be the next big thing after covid and now here it is..... Hot temps cause blod clots and not the jab.. ooooo oooooo global boiling? this sounds real real. ooo ow, global boiling ..... If only people would eat bugs and get jabbed everything would be so much gooder.

Yuck.

This is a force. the evil are forcing end times. They will be as evil as they want to be to prove god isnt real...because they are fools.

There is a truck stop there. I was there back around 2007 or so. Memories are a bit fuzzy because of the meningitis. ;)

Bill Gates wants to reduce the population of the world to a "more sustainable level". How about we start with his ugly ass first? ;)
