      I agree to a degree but I have been seeing the line workers subreddit and it seems like Texas has a very low number of crews working. Like 30 at any given time because they are working a strict rotation where they aren’t being afforded overtime pay along with not having per diem. So I know do why this is being brought up but it’s not for the reasons this story wants to portray. The reason these lineworkers are in any danger is because doing more would hurt the bottom line of capitalist-laugh
