I'm going to build a railroad across the Indian Ocean! Jokin Joey Biden. Wow.
There is no inflation!!! Jokin Joey Biden. 😅
Utilities Rent Food All are overly expensive
Start digging, 71d on tap. Even colder if you introduce water along the thermal lines. And use stone or clay than plastics. But, then also would you need to regularly sanitize the thermal lines, and that’s easy to do.
Scorching heat waves, it’s summer you know, it gets hot!
Nice and cool where I live right by the bay
"Saving $200. a month??? LOL
I live in Hawaii, and my energy bill is like $134. mo., ALL YEAR
I don't have an heater in my house and the A/C in my bedroom I haven't turned on for at least a decade, back when the Earth was warmer. lol
My French doors are wide open all day, all year round. The cool tradewind breeze flowing through the house is our A/C. A ceiling fan is the winds go still.
And island has a HOT DRY ARID side and as well a COOL WET LUSH side. Most people didn't pay attention in geography.
Location, location, location.
More electric car charging stations are needed.
😢 yeah it’s extremely difficult to be without a/c but the cost is just too much
I live in Phoenix and this summer has been no different than any other summer since I moved here 30 years ago. It's hot. People are struggling because of Bidenflation not climate change.
Yeshua Hamashiach is coming soon! Repent for darkness will soon hit this earth like never seen before. And only those who call on the name of AHAYA and his son Yeshua shall be saved
Everyone needs heatpumps.
*millions of landlords refuse to upgrade the 50 year old utilities.
Just remember this isn't Mike Pence problem
Running ac sucks power.
Go to Walmart😂 and stay there till nighttime
0:56 all about profits.
70 where i live yesterday lol. Don't know about this so called heat wave.
Yea well,when you live in the desert,it gets hot.
She sets her air to 71 ? That's why she can't afford the bill. I'm in Tampa Bay and i never goes below 77. Cause I can't afford it. Common sense will save you money !
Only the idiots that think you need to turn your ac down in the 60s or even low 70s lol
I used to be in a “low income program” that was seriously helping out! About a month prior to it being summer, i receive a letter stating that a court judge ordered the ending of the program. I honestly didnt know what else to think of it, other than a set up. Knowing we will use the AC more during the summer, and theyll be able to rack up bills.
And where's congress on that? Nowhere. Screaming about hunter biden like fools. Because that's what matters apparently.
I don't understand how this is possible! This is the BEST Economy we have had in 50 years under President Biden!! Wages are up, Inflation is down, gas is down and Employment is up! This must just be affecting a small amount of people.
humans can live comfortably at 85, mind over matter
These people wouldn't of survived 100 years ago…
Yeah, my electric bill was crazy this month at $138. I can't wait until it cools so I can go back to the $50-$70/mo.
"71" is a very nice temperature
Insulate x 10000
It’s time for a whole new system. This economic system and government is beyond broken.
I also disconnected everything
Even the Microwave, TV and AC unit
Surprisingly it helped out
All i have connected is the fridge and Wi-Fi
Im a single person and my bull would come out to about $80 withiut using AC
Luckily i applied for their affordable plan and now only pay about $30 a month
I'm happy I live in a state that has one of the largest wind and solar farms in the country. My energy bill is still under $80 every month. My state New Mexico allows the energy conoanies to store extra energy just for extrem climates. We are about add yet another solar farm, taking our production of natural energy, from 25% to over 40%, of our total output. My last bill was $76. It gets lower every year too. Thats what going green does though and thanks to the new factorids being added in by the Buden administration, we now make our solar oanels within the country using minerals and resources produced and mined ftom this country as well. We are less dependent on China thanks to that.
Demoncrats doing everything they can to start WW3 and/or bring down America any way possible.
You need to build partly underground homes then you can stay cooler open home concept it is suppose to regulate the temperature in the house
What are you guys doing wrong that AC costs 200 a month?! Florida is barely hitting 100 degrees.
Doesn't matter, Florida is becoming uninhabitable and mass migration out of the state will be starting soon, the housing will be crashing when the rest of the insurance companies go bankrupt or escape the state. One good Hurricane across Southern Florida with the State insurance system overloaded is going to be great to watch.
If Flordia can denyu climate change, I can deny Florida's problems.
It's too bad the "democratic state" of Ukraine has reverted to authoritarianism once again and will no longer hold elections.. the people of ukraine may vote the fascists out.. just as they voted to become apart of Russia under the Obama administration, granted OBiden is just a third term of Obama.
More demoncrat psyops in order to take away American civilians rights
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
“While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.”
“What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.” – Thomas Jefferson
“The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes…. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” – Thomas Jefferson
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
