  1. You can't be in 90 degree heat for more than a few minutes

    Humans are not supposed to be in extreme temperatures

    If it were not for severe overpopulation we would not live in places where the temperatures exceed 90 degrees

    But because of severe overpopulation we have 180 million people living where the temperature is over 90° eight months out of the year

    I don't know why no one addresses the problem

    There are hundreds of millions of people who would not have children if they were paid a UBI

    I would give up my rights to have children for life if I was offered 4000 dollars a month for life
    Most people would
    And we could end overpopulation in just 80 years

  2. A postal worker in Texas also died early on when the heatwaves began in June. The temp that day was 115 in Dallas. Better get used to these temps this is gonna be the norm for several generations to come.

  3. He declined going to the hospital; perhaps he was dehydrated. The earlier the better. UPS Is wrong for letting employees be in a vehicle with zero ac; that's inconsiderate. This is the second person that has died , in a space of how many months? Drink lots of water, if you feel heated up, take a break, drink water.

  4. It amazes me that ANY company get away with no requiring AC in their vehicles. FedEx included… I’ve seen so many people quit because FedEx is now the only package delivery company that doesn’t have AC, but they copy Amazon on contracted labor for deliveries so they won’t be required to, but ironically, Amazon has those Mercedes all with Air conditioning. Anything to save a $1 on your bottom line huh?

  5. Autopsy should reveal cause of death. Ill wait for that before i blame heat. He died 2-3 days after falling ill from the heat. It could be one of many things.
    May he See Christ at the resurrection!

  6. 🙋🏾‍♂️ Why don't they carry a cooler of frozen water in the vehicle? The water casually thaws and you have cold water to drink. We U.S. Soldiers do that in deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq. Condolences 🙏🏾 to the family.

  7. UPS is the worst on its employees! No AC! They need to be sued and pay this man’s family enough to retire. I got a box so hot that the items inside exploded! I put some of them in the fridge. The delivery box was sooooo hot. I was shocked! This is dangerous. If items are exploding in the heat, imagine what it’s doing to the drivers.

  8. I do 6 days in a row in 110 degree weather out here in SoCal with Amazon. AC doesn't even help and the Vans are always 10+ degrees hotter than outside temps. Frozen water , 3 hydration packets and One Gatorlyte to survive. It gets expensive to keep buying all this hydration to survive the summer heat but at least UPS makes $44/hr + OT so they can manage but us Amazon workers don't even qualify for the 10% employee discount because we aren't officially Amazon employees 🤡.
