Laura ✨🎨Here’s a thought on the current heatwave that is absolutely destroying humankind across Europe atm: maybe we should push for a regulation to allow people — ALL people — to stop working in temperatures above 30C. The economy would collapse and finally politicians would take fighting the climate crisis as a priority, rather than leaning into the bullshit narrative that “summer is summer” from their air-conditioned ivory towers.
jerBut I'm a delivery driver for a wholesaler in the #netherlands , so I deliver fresh food and cool drinks to oh so many people who really need it. The point being, if I were to not do that and all of my colleagues with me, how would that end for our customers and their customers/patients?
@jerrej I get that and truly understand it and understand your perspective ❤️ I mean, the pandemic has shown us how much our system relies on essential workers, and how much governments counted on those people to keep showing up to help and support most of society (while putting themselves at risk). 😞
So I'll just keep on doing what I have been doing, because in this heatwave and any other coming heatwave, even burning some diesel to get cooled goods to people in need is more important than politics.
