We are all in the same boat. As the earth heats up we're going to see more extreme weather events. Whether it's hurricanes tearing across the country (Helene is now affecting Chicago!), tornadoes, floods, mud slides, earthquakes, wildfires, drought, blizzards - everybody is going to have to contend with things.

We can act like MAGATs and point and laugh at people experiencing misfortunes, or we can recognize that we're all in this together, and pull together to support one another.

I know which vibe I want.
