      You are speaking as someone who is home, transportation, and water secure. Someone with a marginally less stable life could have a difficult time staying alive. Heck, your AC going out on a weekend could drastically reduce your own quality of life in totally new ways during this heat.

        Exactly. I’m in Arizona right now and it’s incredibly hot with no break from the heat. Equipment overheating is a real issue, my development computers and phones have all had problems.

        The heat is the same issue that places like suburban Minnesota has in the winter. The only difference here is that the problem is the heat instead of the cold.
