Comment on Ask HN: Should we start primarily reporting Heat Index instead of other stuff?parent

Comments

i think the rich will be insulated to a certain extent, but the weather is already making most of the world, including much of the rich, miserable.

i mean, the solution to rich kids is going to be like... don't go outside for the next three months.

if you're a rich adult, you can fly north for the summer, but you'll have to go to.... somewhere where it's not blazing hot in the summer? where is that?

and then you'll be breathing heavy wildfire smoke?

I guess we have different definitions of dire.

A rich person having to stay indoors more than they like is totally different than a person in Iran or India being cooked alive by 120-150F heat indexes.

I live in the US in a wildfire-affected area, but it’s only incredibly unpleasant for me, not dire.
