Also, indoor air conditioning is about that old, and it didn’t become ubiquitous until around the middle of the last century. My parents grew up in a world without indoor AC, and once they had it they refused to go anywhere that wasn’t air conditioned (we lived in hot, humid southern Louisiana).

I grew up in GA and I can’t understand how people lived there without AC.

Same in Houston area. Pretty sure if I had no A/C here I’d simply die

And because of all that future generations will have to endure a life without AC at all as resources and abundant cheap energy to waste ends, the splurge is over.
