that and places that aren't used to this kind of heat have people dying in heat domes because of lack of being prepared. there's a lot of people at risk because of places that aren't built for extreme heat and don't have air conditioning or any kind of way to cool down. so seniors/medically unwell people are being put at risk. or people with shitty homes that aren't allowed to have ac because of shittier landlords. i'm up in canada and we're not used to these kinds of heatwaves and lately every summer we're getting a lot of 'in hindsight preventable deaths' because people aren't prepared for how hot it gets. heatstroke can really fuck you up. not drinking enough water. we have a huge homeless problem along with drug addicts in the streets and it's resulting in a lot of medical emergencies.

it's hot. people are going to complain that it's hot. it's like complaining that people are talking about elections too much or something relevant in the news because that particular person doesn't care. learn to scroll.
