House Bill 2127, which takes effect on Sept. 1, will do away with local rules that require water breaks for construction workers. The cities of Austin and Dallas, for example, require 10-minute breaks every four hours. San Antonio officials had been considering a similar ordinance.

“We are human beings who need respect,” Martínez said. “We really need to be allowed to work without problems, without any barriers … Believe me, we are dying inside those buildings when they take away our water and our [break] time.”

    Fuck communism. Socialism is fine. You don’t need the government owning every single business and paying people out income equalization and food vouchers. Put the power back in the people’s hands.

      Isn’t that what the literal goal of communism is? Under capitalism, it’s in the bourgeoisie’s hands.

      A socialist state would be great though! :)

      Communism is the power in the people’s hands. Classless, stateless society in which the means of production are controlled by the workers and used for the benefit of the many.

      Tell me you don’t know what communism or socialism is without telling me you don’t know what communism or socialism is…
