Appropriate technology in action. And as a bonus, textile insulation could use material from all those fast fashion clothes dumped in the desert or otherwise abandoned to dissolve into microplastics :/

While the billionaires have AC on private jets, we have those shitty euro bakery curtains. Great.

You are free to have AC as well, if you think that's a sensible solution. No need to be a billionaire.

Taking away a billionaire's private jet, as cool as that would be, won't cut your electric bill. Shitty Euro bakery curtains will 😆
