16 Die Amid Heat Wave, High Temperatures to Continue in South, Southern Plains
What fucking heat wave? IT’S SUMMERTIME. Did nobody ever teach these people that summer == hot?
Still, we’re not nearly as wimpy as the French.
Of course, when you can buy a window air conditioner for $50, even the poorest of our poor are more likely to have a cool room to retreat into. And this shit about the elderly not wanting to turn the air on even when they have it because they can’t afford it just frosts me. Turn the damn thing on. You’re dead a lot longer that you’re alive.
Or go to the mall or the community center or to a relative’s or friend’s house where they do have the air running. Jeez.
