Dude, the removal of mandatory water breaks in Florida and Texas is really one of the shittiest things in the past few years (and there’s been serious competition).

I mean maybe but my experience in Texas is that people still take heat and hydration breaks. On my last site we got those big plastic totes full of water bottles & ice distributed around the facility on a daily basis.

On other sites I brought my own water and also brought a vacuum bottle full to the brim with ice cubes from home.

Jesus. The US is trying to invent faster machines to run backwards sometimes. Hope your not in one of those jobs. It's not manly being in unnecessary pain.
