THIRD WORLDISATION
Third Worldisation of the first world
Twenty-four people collapsed, and six were hospitalized from excessive heat at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas, where temperatures hit 40°C. A similar incident occurred days earlier in Phoenix. These events, reminiscent of India's election campaign grounds, highlight the 'Third Worldisation' of climate in the First World. Despite the heatwave in the US, Trump promoted more oil and gas extraction. European voters also prioritized economic concerns over environmental issues, even as heat and extreme weather increasingly affect traditionally temperate climates. Transnational efforts are essential to address these growing climate challenges.
The rich can 'first worldise' India quick
Two options open up for the HNI: one, the standard, traditional one, of moving to a tony country, or at least to a 'world' city, parts of which even rich people don't mind being seen walking in (think Central Park, Covent Garden, Saint-Germain-des-Pres...). Two, pour in money into your country/city as if it's all an extension of your living room to make your 'area of habitation' match your status and taste.
