It is recommended that roughly 2/3rds of the US should not be outside

No problem: aircon, Uber eats, Netflix, WFH. Who needs to go outside?

I honestly hope this is enough for us to realize that denying global warming shouldn't be acceptable from those in power now, and that we should not accept them acting like it's no big deal

like, maybe we shouldn't allow rich corporate guys who can do this much harm to people to have that kind of power or something
