While air conditioning is certainly nice, I don't understand why people set the temperatures so low. It doesn't need to be fucking freezing to be comfortable.

Yup! Like you have to put a sweater on to get in their homes, so you don't catch a cold in July/August in Virginia...
I agree, it's really silly.
I also believe the tech behind A/C can grow better, more efficient, just as any tech.
However, it would be wrong to rely on it
exclusively.
I'm sure here in Europe, it won't be necessary in any kind of situations.
It might also depend on individuals. Some of us don't suffer so much from heat, and humidity rates are not so bad over here.
However, again, I find it great to reassure elderly people. So they know they will wake up the next morning when they go to bed at night.
It's been scary to lose many of them just because of a few days of heatwave.
Remember we're all likely to grow badly old someday. So taking care of our elders is taking care of ourselves, somehow.
