    Profit over people, particularly if you think that the construction and farm workers who are outdoors have darker skin.

      It’s more than that because after a certain point your workers dying from heat stroke isn’t profitable…

      The pathetic truth is that it really isn’t about money, it’s simply about hate.

      Hate for the poor, hate for immigrants, hate for a brown construction worker standing in the shade getting 5 mins of relief coming from another Karen driving by in her BMW on her way to an AC’d office (look, they aren’t even doing any work! she says exasperatedly to her luxury car dashboard).

      It’s just about the hate at this point, money be damned.

      It’s unprofitable to pay for workers visits to the hospital. Even if you have insurance, which goes up with repeated “accidents”, you’re paying in lost productivity.
