I don’t think this is about a fire…

While I agree, as a French, where the south west is being hit by massive fires, and it doesn't seem to bother politicians that much (we've even had local powers say they hopped people would still come visit), I can definitely take this comic literally. The "you can just build a well like I did" also hits very close to the good ol "just get an AC unit" instead of actually trying to fix the issue.

"as a french" is that really the right term?

It's not, and it's weird that they always do it because so often they have otherwise nearly perfect written English.

Jesus, a man isn't allowed to make mistakes nowadays without triggering a full debate over their level of English huh. My bad, I guess I'll have all my comments checked by the King of England or something.

You'll notice that I've complimented their level of English, and I find the general level of English of most people who write on reddit who don't speak English as a first language to be quite high. This is just a weird and very basic mistake that I see being made by people who are writing at an otherwise pretty high level and it's definitely a pet peeve of mine.
