>Environmental protection, mostly - we take the environment quite seriously and would try just about anything and everything else before resorting to in-house AC use. In Geneva and Vaud, in particular, AC installations require a special permit that is typically not granted except for medical or operation (e.g., to cool a server room) reasons.

Redpill me on Europe Zig Forums. Switzerland is supposed to be the gem of the continent but they have shit like the above and everything is super expensive. Same with Nordic countries. I'm starting to think the US is the only western country that offers a good quality of life for non-minimum wage (non-retarded) people.

we actually have many successful retards
whiter than you, muhammad
True.
What?
Europeans will talk about our health care but really the employer pays for all of that.
Education is the same except to get scholarships if you work hard.
> In Europe all retards get education in America only the smart hard working people get education
My thinking is that, for immigration, if you're a taxi driver or fast food worker you move to Europe. If you have a STEM degree you move to the US.
I'm wondering if anyone has first-hand experience with this.

Dumb towelhead.
Why would they effectively ban it though dumbass? That's ridiculous.
Europoor countries lack air conditioning because they invented a phenomenon known as "energy poverty". Yes, they are poor in the energy sense. They felt for the green energy meme so they do not buy gas from Russia. In winter they whine that their bills go up.
Because in their country it causes more problems than it helps (if it ever helps).
Why do iranians gurgle on american semen so much?
Europoors can't afford air conditioning or big houses. Also prices in Switzerland are insanely high, not even bill gates and Jeff bezos could afford a house and an AC unit there.
Americans are rich and can afford air conditioning, true. They can also afford 5000 Calories per day, so they're all fat.
We can't afford much food but we save on diets and stay in shape.
A Che shitting on an Iranian because of American politics... that's a first
So does Venezuela
>tf

>can't afford
We can but it's not needed. Well, until recently.

>can afford stuff.
Pick one faggot
No idea, personally I can't imagine a life without my heat pump
truth is, they're just not needed for 98% of the year. maybe you'd have a better time if you adapted to how people here actually live their life, instead of holding onto the thing's you're used to and trying to import a foreign living standard that doesn't fit here.
you're 100% about that last part by the way there are countries where you can have a nicer life if you're in the high-income group; middle europe and the nordics are all highly egalitarian countries, meaning all people can have a life that's more or less great there, but that's achieved by "evening out" between everybody. sucks if you're a coke-sniffing banker that wants to employ little brown ladies to clean his underwear and suck his dick, but it's great if you're said brown lady and can be sure that even you can count on sensible employment and job protection without exploitation, etc.
in short, it's great if you enjoy living in a place where wherever you go it's nice and safe, and the surroundings including gorgeous nature are well-kept; but if you don't mind living in manecured barbed-up compounds surrounded by slums and desert, and like to spend your cash in fake malls then you can kindly fuck off to somewhere else.
We don't. I would nuke the US if I could. I'm just stating fact.
so, how the fuck do you deal with cold weather?
>sucks if you're a coke-sniffing banker that wants to employ little brown ladies to clean his underwear and suck his dick
What about upper middle class people? Seems to me like taxes in Europe fuck those people the most.
holy based
they don't need AC.
You heat your house/apartment. You wear warm clothes outside. What kind of question is that, are you 3rd worlders retarded?
>You heat your house/apartment
>You heat
how do you heat it, brainiac?
With central heating (furnace, heat pumps etc) or with remote heating from the plant. You basically heat water which then travels through the pipes to radiators which heat the individual rooms. You can also heat floors directly heating pipes installed under the carpet. It's not fucking rocket science.
actually it's much, much easier when you have homes made from brick and mortar, with proper central heating systems and insulation like windows with double-glazing. I was always much colder in those "mostly warm" countries (mediterranean, japan, etc), because the homes there felt like being built from cardboard, and the heating is horrible (if it's even there at all). over here you just set the thermostat and then you're toasty warm wherever you go in your house. typically, heating is done with gas, oil (out of fashion nowadays), wood, or heat pump; this heats up water which circulates through the pipes and radiators in every room.
I won't lie, taxation levels are high. but what it gives us, apart from a functioning social system, is an evened-out society, where you don't have to be afraid to be robbed or that unrest and instability could happen, because everybody got their fair share (more or less, it's never perfect). in total, it creates a feeling that you don't NEED to earn so much money, because most things that elsewhere you'd buy with that money you make, will be provided for you by the community (nice areas to live in; good school system; health care; heck even small things like just being able to drink the tap water). but if it's pure cash you're after, you'd get rich quicker somewhere else I'm sure. but over here it feels kinda... relaxing I guess, and like you don't even need to do that. we'd rather leave work early and spend it outside with our friends, going hiking or sitting in a nice outdoor restaurant with friends for dinner (something I always missed abroad was the notion of spending time outside).
hmm that's a good point.
that being said, like everywhere, there's good sides and bad sides. found this nice video about some cultural stereotypes (dating related, but true for all people):
Don't worry, i'll crank down my AC to make up for all the coal you don't burn running your AC :)
Aw, is all my exhaust making you too hot? :)
are you also pouring out oil and acid in your back yard to spite your neighbor? how's that going for you?
dumbshit.
ac's weren't really needed in the past but they are absolutely going to be if temperatures continue to increase.
No, i pay to get my oil changed, and they dispose it properly. Toxic waste is a real problem, unlike your carbon dioxide bogyman :/
