I’m literally thinking of leaving in five years time. The colorado will run dry and this place will be unlivable. Oh, and we just appointed some Saudi pocket mongrel to handle our water. Ahould be fine trusting our life source with the corpos.
This is fairly normal for Phoenix. It’s on the hot end, sure, but it’s very dry there so 110 feels nothing like it would in Florida where you’d actually die. The bigger issue to Phoenix is dwindling water once the aquifer finally runs out of water.
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.
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).
Lived in vegas for a few years once. Every year around June I’d start seriously planning my escape. Then summer would end and I’d hate it less. And get back to my routine. Repeat.
Leaving that place was one of the best feelings. Instantly happier.
Phoenix never should have been the cite of a major city. Whoever is there right now has to be thinking - how the hell do I get out of this hellfire?
Phoenix is a monument to man’s arrogance
It truly is. I had to go there for work once and the entire time I was there I was thinking this exact phrase. just … WHY.
The fact that there are so many tournament class golf courses there is what always perplexes me

It’s 120f in Italy at the moment.

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.
