Why doesn't anybody care

In winter I see hundreds of threads of people whining.

This is horrible.

I absolutely HATE this weather. My ideal weather range goes from 20 to 85 max. Summers were not this bad when I was a kid in the '60s and '70s!

Please bring winter back. 6 inches of snow even. I won't complain.

Roads are buckled, Buildings are falling apart, bridges are falling on people, heat itself has killed a few already...

Winter isn't the only season that brings destruction -_-

It was hot on the fourth, but I didn't find it overly bad yesterday. I need to go outside today still...

I'm not wearing a shirt or shoes, just some gym shorts.
I tried on some dress clothes I bought for a party and it was hell.

It must be horrible for people who have to wear suits or dressy clothing this week.

That's because those things weren't engineered for extreme heat in Chicago like they are in other cities (i.e. Riyadh, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, etc).

In a few decades (maybe sooner) this weather may become the new normal.

It all depends on your comfort level and what you're used to. I wore a black button up and dark jeans on Tuesday and was completely fine and not even sweating. Everyone is different. Someone in a suit might be used to it...

There are parts of the world where this is completely normal. I have friends who work in Dubai and wear suits and never complain about it. It's supposed to be 108 there today.
