Air conditioning is now evil

[-gg-]

I don't know what's going on but I've read two or three different stories today from different publications and different authors that are stating that air conditioning is a problem now..

Check out this article from time. They are saying that air conditioning will not save us. They are also pretty much blaming Americans because over 90% of Americans have air conditioning and less than 3% of Germans do and the same with the UK.
I don't know what this deal is but it looks like they're coming after our air conditioning now. Lol!

Below this line is an excerpt from the article.

Air conditioning divides us by race and class—especially during inflation. Since low-income neighborhoods of color are hotter, it can take more energy (i.e., more money) to cool homes in those communities to the same temperature as wealthier neighborhoods. In addition, a recent study found that Black residents spend hundreds of dollars more on energy bills than white residents even though they were 50% more likely to give up basic necessities and 40% more likely to keep the home at an unhealthy temperature to pay those higher bills. So even when Black households seem to have equal access to energy, the energy infrastructure continues to burden nonwhite residents more intensely than it does whites.

Here's another article from the guardian. Basically blaming Americans for having air conditioning.

And time also released another article similar to the one I post to be for. Other news outlets are carrying similar stories suddenly.

But then, not all of those 90% of American households with a/c are affluent – not even close. The American insistence on air conditioning comes down to something in the national character, I think. The American aversion to heat is essentially defiant, a conquest of the environment, a refusal to have the temperature dictated to you by the planet. It’s manifest destiny and global imperialism applied to the living room thermostat - the “Don’t Tread On Me” flag, but the snake is in a 64-degree office with windows that don’t open, as the world burns outside.

Yes Trump is to blame for air conditioning.

The Guardian is a Marxist newspaper populated by millionaire individuals who live in Islington.

The only people who read it are people in London.

Laurie Penny is one of their writers who advocates socialism while being a millionaire.

Americans don’t read books but can cut and paste very well

If Europe and said critics of ac give up their forms of heating in the winter we can then discuss ac.

When it’s 115 outside and 95 inside I’d bet they shut their pie holes.

Moderators are busy bodies

Triggered morons who have egg shell realities require moderators

Moderators in the real world are called facebook and Twitter

Well, my idea of moderation is not to moderate.
I offered to moderate here because I thought Dale was awol and my honest intent was to help him moderate, if that's what he would have wanted.

I have a pretty good history of moderation without any sort of bias.

I would actually be a very good hall monitor.

Lots of anti-Americans, even right here in the USA.

Good attributes to be a moderator

Because you simply wouldn't stand on the hall?  How very laissez-faire of you.

I installed a DIY mini-split in my trailer a couple of weeks ago. I'm glad I got that before they start banning, but I guess now I am one of the evil ones who likes  to be cool.

actually, I do not moderate and my instinct is to allow people to discuss whatever they want and kind of let the community self moderate.

But on AH, my feeling would be to keep the place in more adhering to the rules. I would open it up a little more, given the choice - but this is not my place. I only offered to help and I would be good at it.

How would you do that when even you don't adhere to said rules?
