Whether the Weather Whatever the Weather…
Before I’d travelled much as an adult, I had an impression of much of the world’s big cities. As a family we’d lived in a few different countries, so firsthand experience had confused me as to the stereotypes often being wrong. But what baffles me the most is how the very people who live in a place can be persuaded by the stereotype despite the actual memory of actual life in the actual place.
Some places have positive stereotypes. I guess that’s not a bad thing. Many places have negative stereotypes. I reckon that’s usually imposed on them, often by themselves, to fit a cultural characteristic. Who knows? That’s a complicated blend of motivations to distill. Instead, let’s talk about the weather. In fact, let’s not talk about the weather but instead look over the weather data for ten major global cities. Annual rainfall, to be specific. I’ve grabbed the month by month figures for rainfall for ten cities and the annual rainfall. I didn’t include any monsoon (rainy season) cities as their annual rainfall tends to be extremely high, but most of the year they’re dry as a bone.
Here’s something I don’t understand:Weird Antisocial Behaviour.My Own.
What the fuck is going on there?
Corporate Right. Corporate Left. Let the Left sweep all their pieces off the board. But L. Ron Hubbard should NOT be the witless prophet of our future world! Singapore is as bad a paradigm as China. I hope when there comes a choice between the economic incentive and doing what’s right, big picture, you’ll choose the latter.
