[[the left wants us to live without a/c]]
The reason they dont wast folks ot have AC is because they want a crisis to result, like elderly folks dying from the heat, so that they left can then scream about climate change- Just like in NY where they do everything possible to coddle violent criminals so that crimes will increase, and then they can claim there is a crisis and something has to be done, ie ban guns
Many on the left truly are evil demon driven people
It twas the homeless, the hopeless, the drug addicted bums and bummettes. I am cold to the plight of those who choose to live outside and with only what the government or begging gets them. Though most still goes to drink, drugs and cigarettes. Natural causes is what I say. They naturally die when they DECIDE to live this lifestyle.

We have a sailboat in Ventura. Occasionally it gets HOT there. And the boat turns into a hothouse. Not often but after about a 4 day stretch of heat years ago I went and bought a small ac unit and figured out a way to hook it up in the companionway. It’s small so when not in use I just store it. It gets hot I set it in the companionway along with the plexiglass barrier surround and we stay cool enough. I think I pd $130 for it. lol
Street people or currently “transients”, what used to be call “bums”, probably.
Indians lived in the California desert for centuries before electricity was even thought of.
You don't have to evaporate when you are submerged in water that is way less than the ambient temperature, sort of like winter conditions. Of course if you leave the water then evaporation begins to cool you rapidly. Just rinse and repeat.
I have a car with AC that can take me to someplace more comfortable if need be. Or I can just take a drive.
