Sure could, and largely have.
To the point 18 deaths across most of a continent make the headlines.

It absolutely is life and our new normal.
The weakest/oldest/youngest dying to the elements has been the norm for 250,000 years or longer.
We just got used to our technology and cheap energy over the last 100 years. We’re not even returning to that normal, the stagnation of political will to fix things and the accelerating destruction of the climate humans have evolved in are just making things worse.
We are spoiled to the point that 18 deaths is a headline.

The challenge has been accepted and accomplished already. 18 deaths is a rounding error of a rounding error.
For everything else you want, just vote for Democrats.

18 deaths is barely worth the ink on the papers.
If you want to make a difference, keep an eye on your elder neighbors and direct the homeless to shelters.

That’s life.
We’re privileged enough that 18 deaths in a Winter storm that affects 250 million people is a headline.

To be expected. People die in extreme weather.

Ok, just ban it across the country and be done with it.
