When it gets to 120 in the shade, you sweat just being outside and it feels like you're breathing through a hot, soaked towel, what else do you expect? I've seen people who come from out of state to work here, they normally don't last 5 years before the conditions get to them (Being born and raised in these conditions gives a slight advantage in the form of adaptation, but it's not great) not to mention the fact this is a 'fire at will' state that gives workers little hopes of recourse, and the fact these environmental conditions also do wear on our health as well, it kind of gives one a reason to want to just sit down, crack open a cold one and relax after working.
That being said, those who work their asses off down here have my respect, I'm disabled, I want to work but risk passing out just from standing too long (not from exhaustion, more from my blood pressure freaking on me) but knowing these conditions, seeing how my mother and step-father look after a hard day's work, yea, I have respect for hard workers who do manual labor.
