It's not misleading when Miami Dade was looking at the most stringent heat protection laws in the country.
There was going to be heat protection. Instead the state government override the will of local government to ban it.
Yes... that's exactly my point? The state is banning municipalities from requiring heat protection. It's not outlawing air-conditioning. It's outlawing mandatory air-conditioning.
You should realize how terrible it is that DeSantis is doing this. Countless workers will not have aircon during the blistering Florida summer as a result.
You're being facetious about the AC, I get it. You also clearly have never done real work in the heat before. People will die because some chucklefuck corpo thinks 10 minutes and a glass of water is enough on a construction site in a Florida summer.
I legitimately thought the headline was saying AC would be banned. I am stupid.
