This is liberty? A forgotten people over the political favor of the petroleum and coal industries?
Survival. That is liberty, huh? Not in my book. This is gross government neglect of a people they are suppose to serve.
There is no liberty here. There is suffering, death, exhaustion, inability to function and failure of an infrastructure to protect the people.
If citizens would kindly pay attention to the helpless and those at risk. Landlords know if there are elderly or disabled in apartments. Just knock on the door and ask how they are doing. Social Services might have a good idea whom might be at risk in their caseload. Please don't leave to die.
Being in a hot car is like being in an oven. Drivers should have plenty to drive and t gallon containers stored in case the radiator starts to get hot. If a car fails in the west with it being this hot, people will bake and die.

PHOENIX (Reuters) - A dangerous, record-breaking heat (click here) wave in the western United States contributed to the death of a Nevada resident and sent scores of people to hospitals with heat-related illnesses.
The scorching heat, caused by a dome of hot air trapped by a high pressure ridge, pushed the mercury above 100 F (38 C) in parts of California, Arizona, Idaho, Colorado, Nevada and Utah and Texas.
Paramedics in Las Vegas, where searing temperatures reached an all-time high of 118 F (48 C) on Saturday, found an elderly man dead in his apartment, which had no air-conditioning.
The unidentified man had prior medical issues and "either the heat got to him or the medical condition was aggravated by the heat," Las Vegas Fire & Rescue spokesman Tim Szymanski said.
Scores of other people were treated for heat-related symptoms, including a man who pulled off a Nevada highway and called 911 to say he felt ill after driving for several hours without air-conditioning. He was hospitalized in serious condition with heat stroke, Szymanski said.
Cities and towns across the sun-scorched western United States opened air-conditioned "cooling centers" in community centers, homeless shelters and libraries, and warned residents to avoid prolonged exposure to the high temperatures....
Any pets and/or livestock are at risk. Dogs don't sweat. All animals will need ample amounts of water and if outdoors shade.
This is not liberty, it is the absence of it.
