It’s so hot that if my A/C were to go out right now, I wouldn’t be able to stay in my house.



Which is why your ancestors stayed outside during the day.

I think talk of banning A/C is absolutely ludicrous, but I could pretty easily make an argument that the widespread use of A/C, especially by able-bodied people, has been detrimental to human happiness.

I don't think you can compare guys working in a plumber's office to the crucial and world-impacting work that is happening in the NYT editorial floor.

Good point. They need AC to help the common people understand why AC is racist and sexist.

I lived without AC in Louisiana at one point in my life. While I survived, I would prefer to pass on reliving that experience.

Good luck dealing with far left regulations and policies, homeless people begging for money and assistance in a liberal environment, young social justice warriors advocating free everything at the expense of older tax payers, etc.
