Unfortunately you are showing addicts who pass out due to drug taking, and they end up lying in the sun getting burnt and dehydrated

Oh thank God I am not one of those people with no roof over their head and in those very high temperatures everday they just cannot escape from it must be a living hell for them, but as you say the Arizona state are now finally attempting to deal with the massive problem, so hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel.

It's the devil chemical weapons of addiction. To keep you trapped in a circle of despair. So the demons can feed off of your suffering and the suffering you cause to others. The harvestor of sorrows.

The guy serving hotdogs with the long red beard is from Michigan, NOT Arizona. I follow his channel. You should get your own footage.

Sidewalks and pavement are so ungodly hot I don't know how they sleep on it. Seems like it would burn their skin. I've been out there in the summer. I'm used to heat, not used to air conditioning, but I honestly don't think I could live in the outdoors there. I wonder how many people suffer from heat stroke every summer. The pets suffer as well. I'd be on a phone calling the kids to come get me or buy a plane ticket for me to get to them. Unfortunately, so many homeless people have no one they can call or go to. It's really sad.

Billions overseas while citizens burn in open-air crematoriums is this by design?

When this is the only shade people have in that kind of heat, it says everything about how serious things have gotten
