Yes, but you have air conditioning in Chicago, and can pretty much live your life without stepping out into the swamp/blizzard. Because this weather is unusual here, very few people have air con, so there isn’t much escape short of standing under a cold shower.
- Parcle 7y agoI don't think he was implying that the situation in France isn't bad. He was just correcting the idea of The Great Lakes having cool summers.
- bytematic 7y agoIs this true of offices or other businesses in Europe as well?
- madaxe_again 7y agoMost, yes. Plenty of shops are air conditioned, but unless you’re in a big modern office in a big city, air conditioning is unlikely. Ours used to turn into a sweat-box in the summer - couldn’t install air conditioning even had we wanted to. Up until recent years, the reality has been that it just hasn’t been necessary - you might have had a few days a year when you wished you had it.
- brandonmenc 7y ago> Yes, but you have air conditioning in Chicago I'm from the Great Lakes area, and barely anyone there has air conditioning. It's considered a luxury.
