re: #291 lostlakehiker

But again, does it actually serve any sensible purpose to set things up so that it is rational for the poor to AC to 70 in the summer, while the middle class looks at its power bills and sets it at 80?

And another thing. If in this imaginary world the “poor” are keep their AC st to 70 while the middle class has it set to 80 there’s a big difference here. For one, the poor are living inside a small Section 8 two bedroom apartment with probably one stupid AC unit (if they’re lucky). The middle class are ACing a rather large 3 bedroom suburban home. Apples and oranges here.
