        The Florida laws will hurt undocumented migrants the most.

        Which is to say, don’t forget the racism as a motivation.

      It already is. A bunch of red states states are denying climate change, forbidding consideration of climate change in zoning and development decisions, removing references from government documents, forbidding it from getting taught in school, etc.

      This particular article is probably in reference to Florida recently passing a law saying that employers are not required to give outside workers rest or water breaks in the heat.

          Both Florida and Texas were, in the not-very-distant past, within reach of the Democrats and were slept turning bluer. The Republicans in both Florida and Texas know exactly what they’re doing: preserving those precious, precious electoral college votes for the Republicans. Anything else is a bonus, a distraction for the left, or both.

    Yeah, that is why laws were created to try and counter that.

    Then Republicans overturned them in pursuit of evil.

      Don’t underestimate the power of the lie that is the American Dream. Even if you have food and shelter, many still think they can overcome late-stage capitalism with sheer effort.

      Yup.

      Not having money for food or a place to live prevents a whole lot of actions being taken that are appropriate and necessary.
