Air conditioning is one of the greatest inventions in the history of mankind, it was invented in 1902 because is gets hot in the summer and it's saved countless millions of lives

Europe has been trying to ban it because they believe it causes hot summers

You can't fix stupid

Apparently getting an AC unit is a serious social offense in Germany.

I’ve spent the last 2 days talking to a German man about air conditioning.

It’s 100°F over there. Because of the heat, he said some schools have canceled classes.

As an American, I’ve been respectfully advising him to get an AC unit the American way, but the social stigma is apparently so severe that he bought a fan instead.

After a hellish week in a Paris Airbnb with no AC (100°F outside, 108°F+ inside), I started looking into why the French are so opposed to AC.
There's many reasons: bureaucracy, poverty, etc. But the main one is decades of environmental campaigns that convinced people AC is the devil.
The result? You can't escape the heat. Most buses, metro lines, and shopping malls have no AC.
This Monday, 850 schools are closing because classroom temperatures exceed 104°F.
In Nantes, they built a brand-new train station and a hospital without AC for environmental reasons. The station is now partially closed because it's become a "furnace" that endangers travelers. Hospitals are covering windows with emergency foil blankets to protect patients.
The French demonize air conditioning because it creates carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. Never mind that France already has one of most carbon-free electricity in the world thanks to nuclear, or that it accounts for less than 1% of global emissions.
They also oppose AC because it "just displace the problem" by dumping heat into the street. Never mind that studies suggest even if an entire city were air-conditioned, the increase in outdoor temperature would be at most about 1°F.
Instead, people are willing to endure 104°F+ indoors to avoid a marginal increase outdoors.
This ideology kills more people than firearms in the United States.
Across Europe, between 50,000 and 70,000 people die from heat every year, mostly the elderly and the poor. Compare that to roughly 44,000 Americans killed by firearms.
For comparison, despite having a similar population, deserts, and more extreme temperatures, the United States has only about 2,500 heat-related deaths per year thanks to widespread AC.
That's what bothers me most. The moralizing posture completely detached from reality.
People feel morally superior for "not polluting." They criticize America and its guns while tolerating policies that kills even more people.
I share this anecdote because I know it's shocking to Americans. Here, schools or hospitals reaching 104°F would be unnaceptable.
The absurdity is immediately obvious to us because we're looking from the outside. We see the gap between moral intentions and real-world consequences.
But we're no different. In America, we have dozens of similar issues where we're just as irrational, and we've become blind to them because the solution isn't politically acceptable.
How do can we bring back logic and pragmatism in our societies ahead of irrational political ideological ?

Forty people have drowned in heatwave-related deaths in France SINCE THURSDAY.

The average yearly heat-related deaths in the US is 702. Europe is 15,000.

90% of US households have air conditioning. 10% of European households do.

Alcohol is not the issue.

18 days before the World Cup began, someone said that this tournament was going to expose how much of a “shithole” the US really is Well… a few weeks deep into the World Cup, we’ve seen that not only is America not a living hellhole, but this has brought everyone more together

Irish couple left speechless after a small-town Alabama restaurant owner quietly picked up their entire tab.

Meanwhile, the same people who spent years sneering that Alabama was nothing but “backward rednecks” just got a masterclass in Southern hospitality. No lectures. No virtue signaling. No social media performance. Just genuine kindness from people the elites love to mock.

Turns out character isn’t measured by ZIP code—it’s measured by actions. And once again, small-town America embarrassed the self-appointed “tolerant” crowd without saying a word.

[Byron Donalds @ByronDonalds]

This is not hard. 80% of the American people want the SAVE America Act to pass, not 80% of Republicans, 80% of Americans.

The only organization that refuses to act is the United States Senate.

We have a responsibility to secure the voting process for the American people.

Egyptian Coptic Christian explains how Islam took over:

“We are one of the first Christians in the world. Islam took over by the sword. They killed the men, raped the women, enslaved the children.

Egypt went from 0% to 90% Muslim. It’s a cult of sex, perversion and violence.”

Ilana Gritzewsky, qui était otage de Hamas, violée, torturée, a pris la parole à l’ONU pour confronter Reem Alsalem, la rapporteuse spéciale des Nations Unies, sur la violence à l’égard des femmes et des filles.

A la fin, Ilana lui demande de la regarder et lui demande aussi si elle va s'excuser.

Observez la réponse de la Raporteuse: un silence et une expression cyniques, inhumains, contraires à toute morale, qui disent exactement ce qu'elle est.

Ilana, sidérée, frappée de stupeur, mérite qu'on l'honore pour son courage.
Un like❤ pour elle!
