“The price of electricity will then be labeled unfair.”

And, in the very next breath, libs will say “electricity is too cheap which causes it’s overuse and global warming.”

"Big Liberalism is rotten to the core."

It's always the victim and blame game with them. That is their power base.

True that!

“Black people can’t afford to go and buy a window air conditioner?”

Hell, I lived in New Orleans for several years with just box fans and ceiling fans. And New Orleans in summer is light years worse than New York.

Yep, they were reporting on our local news today that there is a study underway to compare the temperatures (during the current heat wave) in the minority areas of the city to those in the “more affluent” areas.

Do you suppose there is any chance they take temperatures in the shade in certain areas, and on wide-open asphalt in others?

If the “solution” to this inequity turns out to be planting more trees in some areas... well, then okay. But I suspect the solution will involve a lot more of my money or other treasure, to make people feel that the heat distribution in our community is not racist.

So the NY Post is saying that blacks are not as hearty and strong as non-blacks?

Serengeti? At least it's a dry heat (which is what the people in Hell tell each other).

City heat is different than that of the humid Congo Basin at the same temperature?

Correction:
Black New Yorkers are more likely to fall ill during heat waves due to “obesity.”

Are they just pointing out that they are darker skinned than me?

“structural racism,”

Buildings are racist and are causing black people to die .... get out of those buildings quickly black people ... A public service message brought to you by the SPLC and NCAAP.

[Deaf Smith]

Isn’t that what the thread is about?

Cultural difference?

City heat is different than that of the Serengeti at the same temperature?

Qualitatively, yes. In the Serengeti you don't have rioters looting all the stores in the neighborhood.

“What happens to them in Africa when the temps are in the low hundreds?”

The temperatures were comfortable in Africa before the white colonizers showed up....

Pretty much...

Well, now we know. The sun is racist.
