People settled there because A/C became available

Yeah, but like, don't. Or at least cover your house with solar. If you need a literal life support system and are dependent on a centralized power grid for that with no backup, you will die.

You can’t just shut off the A/C and cackle while the elderly and infirm die of heat stroke.

I agree that in places like that AC should be among the critical systems which are the last to shut down, but it's also important to note that the vast majority of inhabited places on earth are not like that (yet).

Sorry gramma, a lemmitor said you shouldn't have been born in the armpit of america, so you're going to have to either die when power shuts down or drop everything and move.

That's not my opinion, that's a sad fact of life. If you can't move, get a backup electricity supply. Blackouts happen.

You must be lost. This is hexbear where we shit in the toilet, not on our big balls. We believe in the power of love, but not the power of being a smarmy wpos.

I bet you don't even eat beanis.
