From the linked article: > Other countries that have had [forced sterilisation policies](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-13700490) include Germany, Sweden, and the US. They have also apologised and paid reparations to surviving victims. _Some_ of the victims - my late spouse never got a reparation or an apology. I hate it when the media makes it sound like everything is OK now/fixed when it very much isn’t. ---

Welcome to Texas, where Abbott’s response to the heatwave is to restrict water breaks for workers. > **[As Texas swelters, local rules requiring water breaks for construction...](https://www.texastribune.org/2023/06/16/texas-heat-wave-water-break-construction-workers/)** > > Gov. Greg Abbott approved this week a law that will eliminate city and county ordinances like Austin and Dallas’ mandated water breaks. ---

> [@Gyrate](#): > > Welcome to Texas, where Abbott’s response to the heatwave is to restrict water breaks for workers. Umm. What? That’s completely absurd. Banning a 10 minute break every FOUR HOURS. In that heat, they should have a 10 min break every hour. And yes Broomstick, cruelty is the point. ---

> Water breaks are better solved by OSHA controls, argued Geoffrey Tahuahua, president of Associated Builders and Contractors of Texas. Tahuahua believes local rules impose a rigid scheme that, unlike OSHA guidelines, does not allow the flexibility needed to tailor breaks to individual job site conditions. Remember when conservatives argued that local regulation was better than state or federal regulation? ---
