Are they going paid W1000 an hour? Like the “protesters” at Camp Hansen/Schwab ?
Do you realise that (KR)W1000 per hour equates to just $0.75 or around JPY 100? In any case this has nothing to do with Okinawa so stay on topic or get off the pot.

Gas as in gasoline or ideally, petrol. It's lazy journalism not to differentiate in the headline between gasoline and the gas which comes from bottles or the main supply line. You have to open and start reading the article before finding out just what is being discussed.

"I felt like I had been expelled from society,".
"I remember crying so much on my way home."
On the other hand she could have just got a grip and stopped being a drama queen, told them to stick their cafe where the sun doesn't shine and gone somewhere else.

America always leads innovation. Thank you.
Of course, as the article confirms: "While more cities in the United States are expanding cooling centers to help people escape the heat, there will still be many people who will experience these dangerous conditions with no way to cool themselves.
Even those with access to air conditioning might not turn it on because of the high cost of energy – a common occurrence in Phoenix – or because of large-scale power outages during heat waves or wildfires, as is becoming more common in the western U.S."

16 hours between the beating and calling the police, not an ambulance but the police. Obviously the police would alert the ambulance service due to the nature of the call but the woman waiting 16 hours before calling probably contributed to the victim's death.
