In 10 years of living on the west coast I had experienced 1.5 years of that under fire weather.
Fire weather for those who don’t know, is the most fucked up and toxic environment you can live through. The smell is a strong campfire. It’s snowing ash. And sometimes it’s so bad you have to wear a mask in the house. A P100 mind you.
In 2020 I spent 12 weeks under fire weather through COVID.
That was it for me.
When I drove back east, we had smoke all the way up to eastern Arkansas.
Over 10% of my last 10 years were miserable due to climate change. And it’s only getting worse.
It will be for you too.
Better vote progressive because the other two are incompetent dirtbags.
