‘New York Times’ Wants Ban on ‘Sexist’ Air Conditioning
|
No. It clearly hasn’t occurred to the clever lads and lasses at the New York Times that air conditioning is what keeps all those old folks and kiddies from dying of the heat like they used to in the old days before air conditioning was invented. | [BREITBART] Air conditioning is a sexist and unnecessary luxury that’s killing the planet, according to the New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
This is what a Luddite looks like. This is what a backwards, anti-science, anti-progress, spoiled, imperialist, bullying bigot of a Luddite looks like. This, right here.
Lead by example. Turn off the A/C in the NYT building
You know, we always laugh at this whackery; we always dismiss it and write it off to left-wing lunacy that no sane country will ever allow ... and then the next thing you know men are marrying men, mentally ill men in skirts are sharing restrooms with our daughters, and we’re all being forced to bake their goddamned wedding cakes as the next Democrat nominee for the president promises to open the borders and confiscate our guns.
The left ‐ and by the left I include the media ‐ are already coming for our guns, our health insurance, our private schools, our churches, our automobiles, our backyard grills, and now they want to take away our cooled air.
So this is nothing to laugh at. Yesterday’s insanity almost always becomes tomorrow’s reality. The Luddites are dead serious. And this is not the first time the far-Left Times has come for our A/C, and it won’t be the last.
You see, per the pro-science New York Times, were we to rid ourselves of air conditioning, over time we would not miss it, we wouldn’t even notice it’s gone because we are pampered Americans who have become acclimated:
People in countries with lower G.D.P.s, said David Lehrer, the communications director and a researcher there, are more comfortable with a wider range of temperatures. It appears that first world discomfort is a learned behavior.
Besides, air conditioning is sexist:
There is an oft-cited study published in Nature.com that notes how building temperatures, once set to the comfort preferences of 1960s-era men in suits, disregard the "thermal comfort" of female staffers.
Come summer, Twitter invariably lights up with charges that air-conditioning is sexist, an engine of the patriarchy, in threads that in turn fire up conservative commentators eager to prove the daftness of the opposition.
Building temperatures are largely controlled by building managers, to industry standards that aim for the thermal comfort of 80 percent of a building’s occupants ‐ which means, of course, that 20 percent will be uncomfortable, if not miserable.
