    The fucking military stops working outside when the heat gets to be too much. These guys are asking more of the workers than we ask of soldiers.

      Yup, medics will roll up with their wet bulb thermometer, (basically a thermometer with some wet cotton on the bulb, to be able to measure how well sweat will be able to cool you down,) and they have a chart for different working times at different temperatures. When it’s too hot, they pull their people out and let them rest.
