When asked about it, the spokesperson of the chancellor said something like even if the chancellor would make it his top priority he wouldn’t be able to change the weather.
Take a guess. It’s older and disabled people who struggle the most with the heat. They don’t contribute much to Germany’s economic growth. For a capitalist state, they’re just not worth it. Yes, it’s disgusting.
What is the German government doing to address the high number of heat related deaths?

Germany is so fucking ablist. They treat illnesses and disabilities as a character flaw. Revolting.
I’m not sure other capitalistic states handle it better. It seems it has to get a lot worse until it can get any better.
It is, but I’d wager many if not most Western countries are as well.
