The other thing to mention as to why everyone having aircon is not necessarily desirable is that it is an environmental disaster.

Heating is far worse, but I never see anyone complaining about that. If you try to take my AC away, I'll become a climate change denialist. Tongue

If you can’t survive in a climate without air conditioning, then you’ve either never adequately adapted to that climate or it’s simply not one that your body can handle. I say that as someone who spent the first 23 years of their life in Florida with barely any a/c and who now lives in Vermont without any a/c. It’s an environmental disaster and harmful to your ability to acclimate. Do hot days (and especially nights) suck? Absolutely. Personally, I can tolerate the cold much better than the heat so the Canadian border states are as far south as I’ll live now. But it’s important to let your body acclimate to your climate; if you can’t handle that, then consider relocating. A/c units should, ideally, be reserved for those with health risks or at least not be used by the general public until heatwaves strike.

AC should've never been invented. Facilitated the yankee demographic swamping of Florida and the south

You sound like Herman Talmadge

https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1980/11/18/the-end-of-the-talmadge-legend/2c99cd91-6365-4908-8248-84fd16d4d42d/

Quote
Pilloried mercilessly in the Atlanta newspapers, Talmadge bitterly charged in an interview that the suburbs were "poisoned" by the press with "thought control worse than the Germans had under Hitler."

Still, there was more to Mattingly's victory than suburbanites. Mattingly cut into Talmadge's lock on rural farmers, distraught over sky-rocketing interest rates and the worse drought in Georgia history. His inroads were slight but unprecedented. Even a Talmade, with his agriculture connections, couldn't make it rain.






He was right
