Yes, because if you get a leak in your air conditioner, instead of just patching the hole and refilling it with coolant, you have to replace your entire system in places like California because they require a more green, less gas, in the name of science, and still completely ignoring the simple fact that it doesn’t make a damn difference because we all live in the same globe. The amount of waste that is generated is…

So the climate apocalypse scaremongering is never going to be a scenario anybody’s ever gonna have to deal with.

It’s either we can fix the problem or we cant. If we can’t fix the problem, then no solution that we’re doing now makes any sense. If we can fix this problem, again, no solution that we’re doing now. Makes any sense because the technology of tomorrow will be much better adapted when the problem gets worse enough to warrant spending $93 trillion a non-probable existential crisis that also conveniently can’t be disproven either. I feel like too many people don’t see that the average person is willing to steal cheat and lie to get ahead.

It’s a air-conditioning system. It’s dead simple you could learn it in an afternoon watching YouTube videos.

HVAC technicians do more than just install mini-splits.

Yeah, and they’re also not doing rocket science
