Welcome to working in agriculture, where you don't get to do this, unless you can afford losing your job. Keep on telling me how it is in a job you've obviously never worked, though.
I'm just guessing it's a bit better to actually survive by walking off the job if needed than to just drop dead in a field. But, what do I know? I'm just a dumb heat stroke survivor from the south.
Maybe you're right. Maybe a prisoner dying in a concrete cell is the same thing as having a job outside. Thanks for the enlightened conservatism.
How on earth is this enlightened conservatism to point out that these are not fatal temps for an otherwise healthy individual? I guess the whole population of the third world that lives in the tropics and doesn't have air conditioning just have superior genes according to you? Fucking hell, literally millions of people around the world live in conditions where they see temperatures as high, or even worse, and you want to pretend like it's saying "Well this guy should have just been stronger and worked harder," to point out that these conditions are generally not fatal for a person without other issues.
No, they are not good conditions, and the state has an obligation to provide decent conditions to all those who are incarcerated, but it's asinine to act as though healthy individuals routinely drop dead from spending several hours at 96°F or higher in high humidity environments in absence of some aggravating condition.
Shit I didn't realize you're a medical doctor or have a degree researching heat effects on humans!?
