Straight up coming down to "Do you have an industrialized plumbing system?" and "Do your buildings have A/C?"

So much of the future of humanity will be dictated by the machinery that guarantees access to the basic conditions of life. One reason why I am not bullish on the future of the American state. We're a country that loves social murder. We will gleefully box in our neighbors and let mother nature finish them off. Turn every minority neighborhood and rural community into the Superdome during Katrina.
