Important to note: Arizona and MANY other US states dont have heat safety rules that protect workers because billionaires, brilliant as they are, cant do the math on extra breaks + water = 95% productivity but a dead worker (generally) = 0% productivity.
Im not going into ethics, morality or right vs wrong because billionaires are well known to be soulless demons.
But they still cant do basic math.

“ Last week, the US Department of Agriculture proposed a strikingly cruel policy, even for this administration: speeding up the kill lines at America’s chicken, turkey, and pig slaughterhouses. The plan will make one of the country’s most dangerous jobs — working in a meat processing plant — even more unsafe, labor advocates argue. The USDA has also proposed ending the requirement for these slaughter plants to publish annual reports on #workersafety. “ https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/480302/trump-slaughter-line-speed-usda
One of Trump’s cruelest policies yet has received almost zero attention

America’s meat processing plants could become even more dangerous for workers and animals.

It's the same reason why #SexWork needs to be #decriminalized globally [and why #Germany did decriminalize it!] as the only effective means to combat #SexualExploitation is to #defund #OrganizedCrime, which would literally drain society instead, "charging" an extreme "tax rate" in comparison to any regulator whilst also undermining and straining public infrastructure and services.
