But how to the firefighters feel about Lia Thomas?
no wonder the Brits couldn't keep their empire...what a bunch of wusses.
yeah but we have air conditioners
Yeah maybe, but do the people in drought stricken western US have the consistent electricity to use them? The energy grid in Texas and California are both fucked, plus all those hydroelectric damns are going to be useless when there’s no water to power them.
Aren’t Nor Cal and Oregon ravaged by wildfires like every year now?
Many of those fire, in CA anyway, are actually started by sparking and exploding transformers in an out dated and over stressed power grid.
Only 3% of land in the U.S. is currently classified as urban. Obviously nowhere close to all of that other 97% is inhabitable, but overpopulation here isn't really a thing like in other countries. Our failing infrastructure is indeed sad though.
Ultimately I think most “overpopulation” arguments are spun out from gross capitalist eugenics viewpoints, but in the case of America we literally do have large populations of people living in arid desert land that we have irresponsibly irrigated, and as desertification takes hold those populations will sooner than not have to migrate.
One of the most dystopian things I’ve ever seen are those ridiculous
90’s and 2000’s McMansion suburban neighborhoods in Arizona and Nevada that are literally built out into the desert, and after the housing market collapse many of them were abandoned, often before construction was even completed, and returned to nature
