This is the same editorial writer who wrote last month about how Jews are making too big a deal about antisemitic incidents and that giving Nazis a platform is "doing the public a favor, actually" because some of them are so clownish. So he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt on this.

Here in central IL, the local paper ran an editorial titled "You can't teach an old Skokie lawyer new conduct standards."

We're not near Skokie. The lawyer being from Skokie was totally irrevelant to the charges he faced. It was just a way of saying "you know what *those* people are like."

"If we hadn’t built a world around and dependent on systems such as AC, might the world be a lot cooler?"

A 2012 study found that home AC cut premature heat deaths on hot days by 80% since 1960.

That's a lot of dead people.

"As you dig into the history of AC, it begins to take on the dimensions of some vast conspiracy..."

I have dug extensively into the history of AC and I think this is a completely bizarre statement. It's the history of humans inventing a startlingly slowly-adopted tech we use so we don't die!
