    That’s how externalities work…

    You can lobby your government and hope they help you, which is mostly a futile exercise but still got to be done

    Or you put a fucking hepa filter in your house… Which should already have anyway if you care about air quality to any degree.

    Anything decent is 500 bucks tho and 30 bucks per years in filters but this your own families health.

    You chocie tho

      Most people can’t even afford their own house, let alone installing filtration. My area has been covered in wildfire smoke recently. My apartment has no AC. I get to choose breathing in the smoke and having some cooling from outside, or breath slightly less smoke but swelter in the heat.
