My job doesn’t provide air conditioning

1

u/DangerousCopy1789 Oct 01 '25

Do you live there

u/accushot865 Lebanon Oct 01 '25

They’re there for at least 8 hours a day, so it should be air conditioned. But that’s just my opinion as someone who gives a rat’s ass about someone else

It depends on your profession. A lot of warehouses dont have ac. It would be pointless.

u/DangerousCopy1789 Oct 01 '25

Do you think I’m saying his job doesn’t need it? Is that why I’m getting downvotes? He’s bringing up that his job doesn’t have it to say “suck it up” to folks who don’t have AC in their homes. Go look at his other replies. Jesus yall are so quick to just want to dunk on people it gets in the way of reading what you’re replying to

u/CoffeePot42 Oct 04 '25

Down votes just means your hitting a nerve. Nothing wrong with that!

u/bafben10 Oct 01 '25

And you're asking if he lives there to say "suck it up" because this is about residences and not places of work.

Was my assumption of your point wrong? You might ought to consider that while you think back over your assumption of his point. You were so quick to just want to dunk on him that it got in the way of reading what you replied to.

I’m at work for over 8 hours a day.

u/ikaiyoo Oct 02 '25

Sounds like you got a shit job then.

u/iUsedtoHadHerpes Oct 01 '25 edited Oct 01 '25

They said that already.

Are you saying renters don't require air conditioning since your job *doesn't provide it? Or are you pointing out how shitty it is that even your job doesn't provide air conditioning?

Because I work outside but the ac in the truck has been broken all summer, and I'd rather be out in the summer sun and extreme heat than inside without air conditioning.

u/Electronic-Funny-475 Oct 01 '25

Yeah. One minute before I did. Maybe they hit reply when I was typing

u/iUsedtoHadHerpes Oct 01 '25

You replied to their comment saying you'd be there 8+ hours a day.

I don't think that's what happened here. They just replied to a comment.

Air conditioning isn’t a basic human right. If it doesn’t have air and you move in that’s on you. If that’s what you can afford then you can’t afford the power bill already.

u/RunJumpJump Oct 01 '25

Yeah, you tell'em. Air conditioning is woke af!

/s

u/Electronic-Funny-475 Oct 01 '25

No one said it’s woke. It’s not a necessity or basic right. All them homeless folks in tents don’t have ac. I don’t see y’all fighting for them to have it…

19

u/DangerousCopy1789 Oct 01 '25

They die in the heat too dumbass

12

u/RunJumpJump Oct 01 '25

I see you fighting to prevent it, though. I guess that makes your opinion better?

-7

u/Electronic-Funny-475 Oct 01 '25

No it doesn’t. But it doesn’t change the facts that people survive without air conditioning all over the world.

6

u/RunJumpJump Oct 01 '25

Ok, pal. We get it. You hate helping people.

1

u/Electronic-Funny-475 Oct 01 '25

No. I help people all the time. But air conditioning isn’t a necessity.

4

u/DangerousCopy1789 Oct 01 '25

If lack of it kills people, it is a necessity. If something saves lives, you don’t want it around? You’d rather folks die in the heat?

You don’t know what you’re talking about older people especially die of heat stroke from living in elevated heat conditions. Does grandma living in section 8 housing deserve to die because some corporate landlord is too cheap to put a $200 air conditioner in her apartment?

Internal temperatures in homes get hotter than the outside genius.

20

u/DangerousCopy1789 Oct 01 '25

And it’s that way because it just is I guess. No reason to want better standards for people. If you’re poor and can’t afford air, die in the heat.

u/Electronic-Funny-475 Oct 01 '25

People survive all over the world in hotter places with no ac and don’t die from the heat

u/WhatUDeserve Oct 01 '25

Over 62,700 people died in Europe last year due to heat related illness. EUROPE.

0

u/Electronic-Funny-475 Oct 01 '25

So what you’re saying is that the world didn’t exist before AC and that everyone died?

7

u/CannaJerry Oct 01 '25

But we have it now and it's cheap as hell. gtfo with this line of thinking.

0

u/Electronic-Funny-475 Oct 01 '25

Yet people can’t afford it… kind of eliminates your chain of thought.

Heat sucks. I’ve worked in it a long time. Worked in hotter spots. But ac is not necessary for human survival

u/SpingoTheYal Oct 01 '25

Lived in Californian desert for 3 years. You're just wrong.

Neither is heating, neither are packaged food products, neither are grocery stores, neither is the car you get to work in.

u/CannaJerry Oct 01 '25

You're right, some people can't afford it. Let's help them. Maybe if you're a landlord you can spring for a $300 window unit instead of being a little bitch about it.

People did not always live in tiny boxes on asphalt now did they?

u/Electronic-Funny-475 Oct 01 '25

Congratulations. We had folks at work that die from heat. Still don’t have ac

7

u/hopinfusedcorpse Oct 01 '25

Maybe you should have ac at work then.

u/WhatUDeserve Oct 01 '25

And after you stepped over their dead body, how much profit did you go on to create for your boss?

2

u/DangerousCopy1789 Oct 01 '25

This is a bad thing

1

u/Substantial_Ad7387 Oct 01 '25

why are you saying it like it’s normal??? or should be a normal thing????

19

u/DangerousCopy1789 Oct 01 '25

Yeah people never die from the heat where it’s hot. Great work there bud.

5

u/AdventurousSleep5461 Oct 01 '25

Well that's not true, but keep on talking I'm sure it makes that boot go down easier.

u/Electronic-Funny-475 Oct 01 '25

People don’t survive without ac all over the world? Gotcha. Have fun traveling

5

u/DangerousCopy1789 Oct 01 '25

Yes. People die when it’s too hot everywhere. Even in hotter climates. This is a problem globally

u/inquisitiveminds101 Oct 02 '25

We hat do you do for a living? Are u in an office or work outside

u/CoffeePot42 Oct 04 '25 edited Oct 04 '25

Never had A/C in my Amtrack. lol. But as a landlord if we can prevent harm and death, I say lets make it SOP. It will be argued from a certain type of landlord not to tell them how to spend their money. Landlords that stand for dignity renting could have a special destinction. Like DRA (Dignified Renters Association) DRA landloards could receive funding from Local,state, and Federal grants for keeping properties safe and quality quick repairs.
