Your skills with the German language are exemplary. We really have lost it with this air conditioning. It should be evident that the feedback loop has gone wrong when, after centuries of buildings serving us well, we can't enter them without the aircon, lighting and everything else turned on, with all doors and windows shut. It is like summer comes along and we have excuses for wasting as much electricity as possible, then winter comes along and we do it again. There is no let up to it and people aren't necessarily directly paying for air-con and other demands. They are also not aware that they are heating up their environment considerably with this over the top lifestyle. Modern offices are absurd alien places. The water can't come out the tap, it has to be brought by a man in a van. You can't wash and re-use a cup, cups and eating utensils have to be single-use disposable. Need an expensive fizzy drink? Have as many sugar rushes a day as you want, there is a vast refrigerator full of the junk, humming away, not too far away, all of it for free. The noise of ad-hoc air-con solutions and the moaning people make about air-conditioning is a phenomenon deserved of study. A lot of people really do have this overly corn-fed obesity problem that can't be spoken of because to do so would be 'able-ist' and possibly a sackable offence. However, if you had to provide A/C for a group of fit people or for a group of fatties, which do you think would have the lower electricity bill? Also, why should those that can stay off the snacks have to endure these fattie-friendly alien workplaces?
