    I do lawn care and I’ve had heat exhaustion/minor heat stroke more times this year than every other year combined. I’m in Canada and I remember when 30 celsius with the humidex was hot. Now it’s getting to nearly 40 fairly consistently.

    Honestly, with how crap everything is getting and how many times governments have had to give out various relief funds the past few years, why do we not have a universal basic income yet? At least that way they wouldn’t have to pass a new law every few months to give out a bit of pocket change that doesn’t actually make a difference with how high the cost of living is now.
