- rconti 3y agoI love these puritanical notions. Gotta be good, hard-working, cold-hardened folk! >Employed by the transcontinental railroads, influential writers like Charles Nordhoff contested eastern notions of Southern California as barren desert where “Anglo-Americans” would inevitably succumb to the “disease” of laziness.
- jasonlotito 3y agoThis is amusing seeing this sentiment posted here while just north of Philadelphia, schools are closing early because it's too hot in school. It's 85f right now.
- scohesc 3y agoAre there climate control issues preventing children from going to school? What I mean is - do the schools have adequate HVAC to keep the school cool, or is it for another reason? Where I grew up the weather in summer was typically over 85f. I assume maybe 20-30 years ago the temperature was lower or there were fewer hot days where you're talking about. I do think it's a concerning sign that instead of addressing the grander issue, the stop-gap solution is to throw more climate control everywhere though.
