I always think that when people attack the notion of AC, it’s an indirect attack on Texas. Because they think if it wasn’t for AC, then Texas never would have developed as it has, and that makes them jealous.
+1. That also goes for the rest of the Deep South.
It is certainly true that yankees would never have infested Florida to the degree they have without AC.
“I always think that when people attack the notion of AC, it’s an indirect attack on Texas.”
You are mostly right. It’s actually an attack on the entire South. They feel the South would be sparsely populated had it not been for AC.
To some extent they are right ... if it weren’t for AC, I doubt a lot of those liberal fairies would have migrated to VA, NC, FL, TX, etc.
Sort of related to this are the problems liberals have with “large houses”. I have about 2,000 square feet of living space. I can afford more, but 2,000 is about perfect for me. Three liberals I know live in 3,500 sq feet homes. One of those couples has no kids. Climate change machines (i.e. HVAC) is always on. I’m the planet killer though.
Anyway, Texas has a LOT of large houses ... I often see those large house complaints as attacks on Texas too. I think it’s mainly due to liberal propaganda artists being torqued that they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a 300 sqft closet in the latest trendy city.
