    I am vehemently opposed to this law. It is useless, dangerous bullshit, done only for political signalling.

    However, this artcle is bullshit too, having absolutely nothing to do with the law, except for the headline.

    They are getting what they voted for. Seems to me that construction workers are just the type that would either be gun-ho Republicans or be totally tuned out of politics altogether.

    So ultimately, they are getting what they deserve - anti-worker/anti-common sense policies.

    Does Lemmy have a /LeopardAteMyFace sub? If so, this deserves to be posted there.

      Seems to you? As it happens, that is not the case. According to this website they polled at 45.3 Democrat vs. 54.7 Republican. The GOP always likes to show guys wearing hardhats as conservatives but that is just PR bullshit.
