Yes, but before AC Washington was a dismally hot and humid malarial swamp. Nobody stayed there in the summer but miserable gooberment employees and there were not so many of them then. The politicians all went home, no bills passed, no graft taken, not much mischief done. They also actually had to see their constituents. Imagine that.
Air conditioning led to the big gooberment we have now.

Interesting and logical. Ironically, these fools are going after AC now too, claiming it’s the major cause of climate change. They will try and make it too expensive. They do that....and yeah....civil war is certain.
