    Seriously this, I mean there won’t really be places that can comply with this. Yeah Texas has some of the highest rates of heat related deaths, they also have some of the hotest hots in the country. Taking the requirement away is just malicious on Abbott’s part, but it likely won’t change anything. My wife worked as a vet for the USDA in Waco for 2-3 years and those cutting floors at the meat processing plants frequently got to 120f during the high summer months. They have a couple of box fans, and water literally everywhere and that’s it. This is an article hitting on a problem, but from the wrong direction.
