    Actually, that's what Trump and the GOP do. Lift restrictions to make it cheaper to make profits and screw the safety of the workers.

    Trump’s presidency favored employers over workers and their rights.

    The president who built his campaign on support of American workers and sympathy for labor unions is now only helping employers at the expense of workers.

    Worker Dangers Up As Trump OSHA Cuts Come Home To Roost, Say AFL-CIO Exec, Ex-DOL Official

    Fewer inspectors, more deaths: The Trump administration rolls back workplace safety inspections. About 90 percent of serious accidents happen at workplaces that haven’t been inspected by OSHA.

    https://www.vox.com/2020/8/18/21366388/osha-worker-safety-trump

    Under Trump, OSHA has the lowest level of inspections in its 50-year history.

    Lol someone who posts about Tucker Carlson everyday is arguing with someone who watches Tucker Carlson maybe once a week

    the winner? Tucker Carlson ratings lol

    Real question

    does this affect me going to watch the Rockets tank at Toyota center ?

    I can only imagine the Russian and Chinese operatives laughing at the great divide in this country.

    governor wheels needed a distraction from his failed leadership re: deaths caused by the Texas freeze, so he decided he would change the killing field...

    that will be me if we keep our pick and draft an exciting rookie

    Me going to see this team full of old, crusty vets that have quit on the season or our “young guys” with low potential like Tate and Nwaba?

    Tho I am interested in seeing if TC will go straight to allowing full capacity now or if the league will even allow it. Another reason why I’m not going to a single game this year is because not only is the team garbage with a bunch of vets I don’t like, but being at a game with only a few thousand people is too depressing for me. I can’t get down with that type of atmosphere.

    Again, that same logic could be applied to sober folks killed by drunk drivers.

    The people who should stay home while engaging in unsafe behavior are those who engage in it. Folks are free to drink at home, or not wear masks at home.

    The public space isn't reserved for those that ignore the safe well-being of others.

    And ignoring the increase to members of a specific race also needs to stop.

    Of course, governor wheels had his vaccination, so he thinks he is safe. Unfortunately for the almost all other Texans, only 7% have had both shots, and under 14% have even had the first shot...

    Vaccinations does not exempt people from further infections. Just means they won’t die from it going out of control.

    It’s highly likely a vaccinated person becomes an unwitting host during periods of reinfection.

    The world is gonna love the Great American again...

    lower bowl setup is 1 of Les’ biggest fails when it comes to fan experience...smh

    I can only imagine how TC is gonna look moving forward with a team this bad

    sometimes back in the K-Mart 14th pick days, I’d have damn near the whole row to myself

    Next year? i might go to a game and be the only person in my section.

    Tilman said he was gonna fix the atmosphere in the arena, but I never saw any real changes. All he did was the celebrity free throw pre-game. I’ve been very disappointed.

    Toyota center might be the best place for voluntary social distance in the city
