My Dad called AC the Yankee Curse.
It makes the Yankees think they can live in East Texas.
It is downright stupid to have a reliable and affordable technology and refuse to use it in order to experience physical discomfort.
There is something seriously amiss with that mindset.
Exactly. Exactly.
That is why I think people like her are mentally ill.
Liberals.
Guess what people actually die without air conditioning. Many elderly cannot adequately regulate their body temperature in extreme heat and humidity and are prone to dehydration. Note that heat waves in Europe where home air conditioning is rare often produce thousands of heat related deaths.
Years ago my Grandmother told me the summer of 1947 was the hottest she could remember. Other than the post-war luxury high-rises going up on Park Av and very few mansions in Chappaqua and the other “snob zones” in Westchester, even most well-to-do people didn’t have AC yet. People in the older apartment bldgs. in daBronx and Brooklyn would sleep out on the fire escapes and the roofs. Not to mention none of the buses and subways were air conditioned, except for a few experimental R-11’s built by the Budd Co which turned out to be too expensive and unreliable.
I couldn’t give a sh*t less whether she has AC or not. It’s the fact that she gets to decide that we don’t need it either.
Permission to borrow that graphic Captain, Sir?
I would venture a guess that I have spent a bit more time stuffing hay bales in the top of a tin barn when it was 102. I grew up without AC, and even as a kid I remember waking up in an upstairs bedroom in a farmhouse, with dripping wet sheets from sweat. Yea, that’s really special.
Remember one of the Back to the Future Movies where Marty was in the Old West and was eating at his Great Grandfather’s Shack on the Prarie.
Ther are glasses full of murky brown Water on the table that he looks at and he is horrified.
Well sure. To a Leftist that’s progress.
We shouldn’t be damaging Mother Gia by using electricity or other forms of energy to purify water.
I grew up in Houston without a/c. We survived but we had no idea how miserable we were! I will give up my a/c when you pry it from my sweaty dead hands.
Feel free sir. Got stuff all over the place.
She is absolutely correct.
Air conditioning should be abolished in all buildings in Washington DC immediately!
(and grab the popcorn) :-)
