For those of us that have been here for many years (half my life and I'm in my 40's), its not bad. Yeah, its very hot and very dangerous, but we know how to live in it and take care of ourselves for the most part. By mid-morning, all the humidity is burned off and I actually think it feels kind of nice.

What's the future plans for water management?

Ignore that the question exists, then when it becomes an emergency, declare "oh no, we had no idea, we need billions of tax assistance" ... ???

So like fl and ca property insurance...

Man do I love bailing rich people and their bad RE InVestMenTs

Saudi's have been gobbling up water down there too. https://apnews.com/article/water-foreign-farms-arizona-drought-saudi-arabia-2fe3ea1fad43b14ca118cf85196f3e9a

So...I hope they do something. But...Capitallissssmmm

Saudis funded the death of Americans and now they’re buying the PGA, soon the nba, your water. Never forget 9/11 tho

Thankfully the new governor Katie Hobbs is doing a lot to curb this nonsense.

But it's been like that for two solid weeks. A lot of people simply can't handle long stretches of heat that simply don't stop.

The only time I've been was during a layover our way to California. It was 105F outside on the tarmac. It felt weirdly nice. I get the whole dry heat thing now (I'm in Atlanta).
