    People with money and power still don’t care because they will be the last to die

    That sounds about right. July was the hottest I’ve ever experienced. It was a month of heatwaves. It sucked lol. Not to mention, all the forest fire smoke, so you couldn’t run AC without smoking yourself out. It was “great”.

      ACs have filters though? The filters are also replaceable, and sometimes you can get a better grade filter (advertised for people like hayfever sufferers). I would look into it before next summer…

        My issue was how my portable AC unit is set up in the window

        The solution I have ends up letting air into the room from the outside, which isn’t ideal for numerous reasons.

        I’ll have to see if there’s something better that I can use, but so far, this has seemed like the best way.

    Every year has been the hottest for the past I think decade though, I have my doubts that this will ever change.
