Stop asking selfish ppl to stop being selfish. Make them stop. Make them incapable of being selfish at all.

Funny how everything is overly dramatized by the media except if the catastrophe benefits the filthy rich.

This unfortunately isn't limited to private news companies, just saw yesterday a lovely beach photo together with the news about the heatwave in Swedish public service.

Last week was an absolute nightmare and this weekend will be apocalypse! 38+ till Monday! I honestly don't know how anyone can deal with this without any kind of air conditioning.
