re: Mayor of New York wants everyone to set their thermostat to 78 degrees

Oddly I don’t like cold air blowing on me, and 78 sounds fine when you’re not in a place like Louisiana, Florida, Texas.

Not sure why people on TD hate America so much. NYC is awesome.

Ya'll get to sweat you asses of because your leaders are fricked up , you asked for it

mandamni could tell this place to not try and breath under water and this place do it and maybe drown...or just give up and come to the surface coughing.

if 78 ever feels hot to you, step outside for a minute and come back in.

feel good, now that you got that stupidity out?

Maybe when you're outside working on a 100 degree summer day and you feel over heated, you can go sit in your car for a minute, and then step back outside.

A friend called me, asked if I’d installed a new thermostat that he had gotten. I asked where did he get it, he said it can be programmed from his phone, does all kinds of things, the power company gave it to him.

First I told him nothings free, second, if you can control it, they can too, they can also override your settings!

He decided to throw it in the garbage.

Meanwhile, he's sitting in his penthouse suit in 72 degrees...

Its just a simple suggestion. 78 isnt bad especially if you are gone. Thats what I leave mine at when gone. Then 75ish when home and down to 72 at bed.

Could you imagine the smell of 3 million immigrants sweating all night with no deodorant.

They ask the same thing in Texas when the grid stresses or we get rotating brownouts after a half inch of snow.

Is it ok for me to be triggered just for NYC?

A lot of them douse themselves with cologne/perfume, but it doesn't really help.
