I'm surprised they don't have AC. Schools of Economics tend to be filthy rich because they get tons of foreign students who pay a fortune.
AC is not for filthy rich people. In the era of global warming, AC in heatwaves should be treated as much a human right as heating in cold snaps.
Yes. But as that gets rolled out and implemented, assume that the richer organizations would be able to get those ACs installed faster and earlier.
Which is why we need to elect proper socialist parties to ensure equity and that climate survival and adaptation does not become a pay-to-play scheme.
I'm surprised they didn't go online-only. Scholars of Economics also tend to have internet connection.
