“We’re getting soft,” warned Bevin, who loves posting selfies on social media but has also blocked hundreds of his constituents from interacting with his pages because he doesn’t like what they say about him, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal. lmao
Have him stand outside with only his 2 piece suit on and nothing else for an hour. He'll get the message real fast.
He'll never have to deal with these issues himself, and clearly doesn't care that the cold can actually very easily hurt if not kill you outright
Bring him up here to Canada, where the same weather system hit us and brought -50 celcius last night
"Damn kids and their *pulls card* https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-chicago-cold-weather-20190127-story.html ability to not survive in -50° F weather"
This guy is the least popular governor in the entire country. Asshole carpetbagger
“We’re getting soft,” warned Bevin, who loves posting selfies on social media but has also blocked hundreds of his constituents from interacting with his pages because he doesn’t like what they say about him, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal. In case his message wasn’t clear, he repeated: “We’re getting soft.” Wish I could say I'm amazed but I'm not. Another classic example of a typical Baby Boomer projecting so fucking hard. The worst generation of Americans in history.
It's -12F here in northern Missouri for the first time in 5 years, and the wind chill is -40F. If this fucking loser thinks he's tough enough, then he shouldn't need any more than a jacket, shoes, and pants to walk a mile to class. It's so fucking cold outside here that it physically hurts to breathe the air, and any exposed skin can be frostbitten in under 10 minutes. If there's a strong gust of cold wind that hits you in the face and you have your eyes open, your face will get frostbitten in seconds. People have actually died due to this cold, both from freezing to death, and from car crashes while driving to work/class because below -10F salt stops melting ice. My college actually underestimated how severe this cold would be and declared last night that classes would continue as normal, but once it actually got to the min temp for the morning, we got an update that basically said "oh shit son, it's dangerous outside, please stay home today."
This is the kind of guy you don't want to complain around. *10 degrees F outside* "Dang it's cold out here" "NO IT'S NOT, I USED TO LIVE IN ALASKA AND IT WOULD GET -40 ALL THE TIME"
its -27F in chicago, kids will literally in no metaphorical way die from exposure being outside.
Imagine getting upset over fucking snow days
Literal snowflakes
I'd love to see his ass outside here for a few minutes. Just about 0 degrees but that windchill make your ears, nose, and cheeks go numb within a minute or so. My ears were on fire for a good hour after getting back to my car.
I had to check what that -50 oF was in celsius and it's basically the same. Holy shit.
I go to UIC in Chicago, we closed down from 5pm Tues to noon Thurs because of temps. We're a research university so we never close down. My professor said in all his time here they've only ever shutdown once and that's when the power station under campus apparently exploded leaving everything without power. The fear the school had today was people literally dieing to get there by either freezing to death on the road or at the bus stop :V. I am so glad they cancelled cause there is no way in frozen hell I'd be missing class otherwise lol
-40 is the convergence point for both scales. It's also fucking freezing.
i'd understand if it was something like -16c but at -40c that's pretty nuts. I mean, that's considered stupid cold even in Siberia demonstrates the importance of mountains that would block off such cold air, but this shit can basically go all the way down to the gulf of mexico unimpeded
here in northern illinois its colder than nome alaska or greenland. This shit is arctic weather. If you went outside without winter clothes you'd get frostbite in minutes (especially with the -50+ windchill). I literally cannot breath air this cold without having an immediate asthma attack
-47 with windchill in NE Wisconsin. You'll get frost bite in mere minutes to exposed skin/limbs.
reminds me of when a person got lost at sea on the ship I was at, and the officials that investigated the accident or whoever they were got pissed that people didn't go on a rinky dinky boat to find the guy this in the middle of a night during what, a storm at sea?
When I was a kid I broke my fingers apart after I lost them to frostbite while working at the coal mines kids these days are too soft
When I was a kid, you just fucking died because you couldn't afford healthcare. We were hardcore.
What the fuck are you kids doing staying at home and not bracing dangerous weather? Why can't you just work yourselves to death like adults and go home shaking your head in the car so you don't pass out while driving
A friend of mine lives near Chicago and had trouble starting his car this morning because of the cold so I'm assuming it's just not a good idea to be outside at all.
Kids these days don't want to suffer! Back in my day we prayed to God for sweet release and LIKED IT

Maybe he thinks it's not such a big deal because he's seen children in Russia going to school in these temperatures all the time? :funny:
wind chill in NKY was -25f at points today. It's not being "soft" when being outside can cause you to lose fingers, toes, or kill you when you're a child. How about he goes outside and dies to hypothermia instead of complaining about protecting people from DYING when people died from the vortex already. Fuck him.
No one in the state is prepared for this kind of weather, let alone like the 17% of people that live in poverty around here. Also he said that and then it fucking snowed overnight anyway, so basically he made an ass out of himself for no reason. I'll never forget when right leaning pals of mine would justify voting for an actual bonafide idiot from Connecticut by saying "he was just too right wing for up north thats why he has to run here!" No he was just too stupid.
