@diffrazioni ha! you were FAST, I was just going to post it :) "drivers traveling on highways in Phoenix, Austin, and Fresno will see prominent billboards displaying a map of record-breaking temperatures that have been recorded across the US this summer." From 2023, but I think they can safely reprise every year.  @Elektrotier @susankayequinn @RnDanger I'm sure that @Elektrotier was being facetious. But it's exactly the approach that's taken by anyone trying to hide what's happening so people will doing nothing about it. Let me just look up the English word "facetious", which I am not familiar with. @susankayequinn @Elektrotier As I already wrote above, I made a bad, sarcastic joke ;-) I am also aware of that most of the people do not want to be aware of what is really going on with regard to our climate. Thanks a lot ;-) In German "facetious" means "scherzhaft", "witzig", "drollig" or "albern". Just throw that peace of information away ;-) Yes. I just made a bad, sarcastic joke about the climate crisis. I apologize. The situation with regard to poverty seems to be much worse in the US compared to the situation like here in Germany. Thus, poor people in the US can protect themselves less effective from heat and wet bulb temperatures than in Germany, I guess. @Elektrotier certainly poverty is a big factor when it comes to vulnerability to heat, but so is infrastructure and social cohesion. Canada is very vulnerable to sudden extreme heat because they never have that normally, so they don't have AC or experience in dealing with heat. Meanwhile, India has tight social structures that means the most vulnerable--the elderly--often get looked after more than, say, in France. But it's all going to get worse. Much worse.  @KawaTora I'm sure it feels great to call people assholes, but this position you're staking out is absurd. If public transport were universally available, and it was an actual CHOICE, then you might have a point. But it's not (which you know), and you're just rage baiting. @susankayequinn If people refused to use cars because they are dangerous and they pollute there would be more public transportation. the ruling class wants the wage slaves at the factories and retail outlets. Your assessment that there is no other way is part of the laziness I mentioned. I used to have Amish neighbors. Not saying we should all use horses but the idea that cars are the only choice is a lie you have been fed and happily eaten. @KawaTora you very much enjoy telling people they're lazy and stupid. A winning strategy, to be sure! And I'm certain that if I stop being lazy and sell my car, a bus line will magically appear in front of my house. Or literally anywhere nearby. But the reality of people's lives doesn't matter to you, only being holier-than-thou to others. Again, a winning strategy, to be sure! @susankayequinn "The single raindrop never feels responsible for the flood." - Douglas Adams @KawaTora Iβm curious if youβve ever convinced anyone of your points by harassment and calling them lazy? Has that enabled you to successfully increase funding for public transportation? Is βyouβre a lazy assholeβ the slogan you used when raising funds for that campaign? Do you think anything youβve said has made me personally more inclined to support public transit (which I already support btw)? Or just more inclined to think youβre not a serious person, just a troll? @BlackDogActual @susankayequinn Hayduke was driving around the desert in a gasoline powered vehicle while sabotaging oil infrastructure. Thus proving his opponents' point. |
@susankayequinn Great pic! Where it was shooted?
