In the Far East of Asia, there is a country called N.
This country is known for its third-rate politics, even by global standards. The government continually creates systems that favor politicians while making life difficult for its citizens. Recently, the politicians in N have passed yet another astonishing law. This time, it’s a law that fines people for saying “it’s hot.”
The law states, “It’s normal for it to be hot due to global warming, so don’t say ‘it’s hot’! It makes it feel even hotter! If you say it, you’ll be fined!” This bizarre law is proudly touted by N’s politicians as a way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
For example, if you say “it’s hot” on a sweltering summer day, you will be fined immediately. Citizens must endure the heat without uttering the forbidden words. With air conditioning usage also restricted, people have no choice but to rely on fans and cold drinks to cope with the heat.
The background to this law lies in the unique thinking of N’s politicians. They genuinely believe that the power of words can lower temperatures. Citizens are bewildered by this law but have no choice but to comply.
N’s politicians have introduced many other strange laws, but this “no saying ‘it’s hot’” law has garnered particular attention. Citizens are now extremely cautious about their language while battling the heat.
The very existence of such a law is astonishing, but it may reflect the real mindset of today’s politicians in N.
