Damn. What heartless sobs. And all for saving that measly cent.
Yep unfortunately to a lot of companies workers are no more valuable than a tractor or drill.
A rental tractor or drill.
A disposable tractor or drill
Like…how is this even a thing?
“People are dying” should be the last fucking statement on it. Fuck your goddamn profits. Eat my dick. Fuck capitalism
Capitalism requires human sacrifice and suffering in order to function. Most economic systems do, unfortunately. Wage slavery is still slavery, but modernized. That way, we all can be slaves.
Hopefully people won’t stand for this, dying in the heat because your boss said you can’t have water or a break. It’s just so absurd, there’s no way people will accept this. I hope.
I’m a construction worker. I’m also an adult. If I’m working in the heat, I take a water break whenever I feel like I need one. If I need to go sit in my truck with the ac on, that’s what i do. If anyone has a problem with it, they can fuck right off and find someone else.
All it would take is everyone adopting this same attitude for things to change. Water and rest breaks are taken, not given. It’s your body, not your boss’s. Take care of yourself. Solidarity saves lives.
Too many people can’t take the risk of losing their jobs. It’s pretty shitty.
There would be no risk if everyone did the same thing. You’re only replaceable if there’s someone willing to replace you.
Relatedly, this is why organizing and strike are important.
solidarity saved lives
That means if you CAN take this attitude, doing so could help others do the same, potentially saving lives.
How heartless do you have to be to take away what people need to survive all in the name of “saving a few pennies”? I honestly don’t believe it would save them any money at all and that people will work slower if they’re dehydrated and at risk of heat stroke. This is just insane. It’s insane to even have this conversation period.
You fool, people are replaceable. Capital is not! Now if you’ll excuse me, I need some “me” time in the executive washroom.

Is this satire?
the fire protection gear lobby
I browsed by new this morning and suddenly feel like I’m stalking that andreas user now.
Feels kinda ‘bot’ like with the word salad writing style, perhaps English is just not their native language so translation falls flat.
Really seems like they are attempting to push a narrative as a puzzle piece they want to jam into the wrong puzzle.
The fact that we even have to ask is sad.
I mean, it’s not great satire, but even so, I hate that there are people who genuinely think like this.

So you’re saying that if tomorrow there were no more billionaires, then workers in Texas wouldn’t need water breaks anymore because the climate would fix itself immediately?
