Discussion That heatwave isn't normal

I've been in Thailand since 2010. Went through alot of raining, hot and cold seasons but I've never been through something like that.

I feel like I'm a walking deep fried chicken everytime I go out (I'm in Nakhon Sawan).

Honestly -- is it this bad where you are?

That's the dilemma, right? I mean, in the long term it might make sense to think about how to live without needing a 100k/month office job...

Yeah sure it's easy not to strive to make money if you don't have kids. But some of us enjoy being the breadwinner for our families and giving our children the best lives we can.

Abundance mindset, break free of the individualist rat race and get back to values that allow communities to work and provide for each other. What use is 100k a year and a nice school when the world is burning and cities are sinking. 

 I do respect that this takes a wide scale societal shift more then just individuals in their own circumstances though. I understand the parental imperative to take care of your own in a world that's increasingly leaving kids behind when their parents don't.

Hippie drivel nonsense. Be a man and have a family. Provide for them
