this is just "99.6% of 'poors' have a refrigerator" but for college. HVAC in dorms is not what is driving up college costs, and in fact probably has become increasingly necessary because of the fossil fuels burned by your parents' generation since then. odds are also quite good that there was substantially less "academic focus" than Father presented there as being too... college kids being drunk goofs isn't a new thing either. just like "nobody wants to work", I'm sure these sorts of things have recirculated over millennia |

Yet, when I tell people that climate change rhetoric creates hysteria, they refuse to acknowledge it.

No one in recorded human history has ever come remotely close to the standard of living that you, presumably an average person, now enjoy. It is valid to wonder what the limits of this progress might be or if the scale of benefit shows diminishing returns.
Anyways, moving the goalposts away from basic Air Conditioning, we have _literal_ theme parks[0].
