It was always crazy to me how many of my coworkers thought their breaks were legally protected by law. Spoiler. They’re not. That’s for child labor not adults. Only protection we had was our union and they crapped on it all the time claiming they had a federal right to breaks anyway… can’t fix stupid.

Who names these people? I feel like I’m stuck in a bad sitcom and all the writers are on strike. Let me out of this b list movie.

Consenting adults at that

They don’t value life. Period. Any life. Including their own.

I think this just means you’re from the Midwest

The American response to that is, “be happy you have a job and not living under a bridge like that guy.” And then they blacklist you in your industry and fire you without cause.

It would appear we’re being held hostage by a death cult

Sounds very reminiscent of Wisconsin circa 2011.

Ok? and Texas is 268,596 square miles (~ 432,263 square km) with 367 miles (~591 km) of coastline. Although I’ll give you that that’s tropical gulf waters not frigid fjords to pull from. I was just saying I don’t know the exact location in Texas of the facility everyone is buzzing about water shortages. But salt water can be used instead of freshwater because other places do it.

I just had another thought on this topic, since this is the Yucatán. The Golden era Mayans built up berms to build on for roads. They’re called sacbe/sacbeob and they were generally very straight from A to B. They loved grids. I imagine modern planners are well aware of historical contexts of the region as well, not mention potentially Mayan themselves. Beyond just the shortest route from point A to B is a straight line, there may be some other underlying context like someone suggested of ease of divvying up land and drawing contracts.
