When I was a small child, Texas summers were 80s-90s.

When I was in college, Texas summers were 90s-100s.

When I was in my thirties, Texas summers were 100s-110s.

You see where I'm going with this?

This happened in my life time and I sure as hell paid attention to it.

One reason I chose our current apartment it it's newer and thus better insulated and it's as shielded from the sun as possible.

Because I KNOW it's going to get hot.

There are no freak heatwaves anymore.

There are no freak wildfires anymore.

There are no freak droughts anymore.

These things are normal.

Oh, you didn't upgrade your energy grid?

You didn't update your building codes?

You didn't build new and better housing?

So your country sucks shit as much as Neo-Confederate Texas does? Is that what you're saying? Your politicians hate you as much as ours do? And you just let them do it?

At least Republicans gerrymandered Texas to hell and back first!

@gwynnion I am gonna have to get out of Texas before it's too hot to sell our house. Luckily we have a huge pecan tree in the front yard, which keeps our house cooler than everyone in our neighborhood (by like 10 degrees).
