The Triumph and Glory of Air Conditioning

Inequality is born of democratizing access to essential goods

• The best way to become very well-to-do very quickly is to produce in abundance, and at low prices, what used to be scarce and nosebleed expensive.
• When you shout about inequality, you're shouting at the very individuals who are aggressively and intrepidly removing unease from your life

It all brings up a simple question: what if someone out there figures out a way to mass produce air conditioning in abundant, inexpensive fashion?

• Assuming such an advance exists, would anyone reading this write-up decry it out of fear that the innovator's wealth gains would increase already wide inequality?
• While the Left leaning routinely lament soaring inequality, their uncontrollable emotions blind them to what preceded the inequality: most often it was the democratization of access to luxuries.
