Lack of air conditioning is leading to massive excess deaths among the elderly during heat waves.

Culling out the elderly during the annual heat waves is quickly becoming a European tradition.

That said…refusing to adopt AC may be Europe’s de facto solution to the pension crisis!

I thought it was was foolish insanity, but now I understand it’s just sound pension policy.

Yep. Elderly life isn’t worth a €2000 AC install. Grandma will just have to sacrifice herself so the pension systems and healthcare systems do not collapse. Sorry Oma.
