So the community colleges in America are basically just for individuals that can't afford a university or can qualify to get into a university.

But generally it all costs money and you'll end up with student loans. This state had passed a "millionaires tax" and so far they have now made community college free and gave all students in the state free school lunches, cuz we also charge kids to eat at our public schools.

This was the biggest gray box I've every had to scroll past on Connect. I thought it was a joke post, but turns out it was a glitch.

That politician would be laughed out by his own peers, not even the people of the US. Granted, I know a lot of people that would flip their absolute minds if things like that were banned, but at the end of the day they'll move on.

The big problem is no one on the floors of the House or Senate would have the balls to vote it in. It'd be the lone politician and his friend. Every couple months they'll introduce a bill and then have it dashed.

Lobbyists are shit in the US and they contribute to most of our backwards problems. Policies would be getting lobbied by oil and utility companies to stop these politicians. Smear campaigns the whole deal.

Oh wait...

Humans adapt just fine, billionaires though.

The only reason we haven't made the major life changes we need to make is because it isn't profitable.

We are not profitable, unless we consume. Unless our money continues to funnel to the top hands we will continue to perpetually destroy our planet. Simple as that.

As citizens, we can only access the changes we need to make based on the size of our income. I can't afford to get an electric car, fresh ingredients are expensive, I can't buy a house to then fit it with solar panels.

This change has to come from the people that have the means to change it for everyone, hence the top 400 people holding some 98% of the US currency hostage.

This is not a problem civilians can solve. We can try, but we will fail. The footprint is from the people that can stop it and the only major lifestyle changes would be difficult, but doable for us, it'd be near impossible for the billionaires to adjust to such a degree, and I'm not confident they ever will.

The heat has been constant this year. We are 30 days now of over 110F, a handful of those days hit 120+.

I've been here for a years now, but this year the heat is hitting different. Humidity is definitely another animal, but 120s is nothing to bat your eye at.

Water hit 101 F off the coast of Florida, so getting there.

OP said that once we hit 130s we start dropping.. I was just making the point that we've already arrived at 130s and people are dropping...

PHX isn't the only place being hit right now, NYC is getting cooked, Vegas is getting cooked, the list is extensive and my point was that people already are dropping due to heat.

Chill the fuck out, more than 9 million people are under extreme heat warning.

Why discredit inhumane temps based on location. Dry or not, we are all getting cooked.
