    Director Lumpkin should be criminally responsible for these conditions and deaths he has been indifferent to.

        Not entirely sure what European A/C regulations you’re referring to. Europe doesn’t have A/C because historically it’s not been needed, and when you have cities that are hundreds of years old, often filled with buildings that are designed to passively keep cool, it’s a right pain in the arse to retrofit everything.

        As a result Europe doesn’t culturally expect A/C every where, and has been slow to adopt it. But obviously climate change is forcing many to reconsider those cultural norms.

          They're trolling, and doing a poor job of it. Downvote, flag, or ignore. Don't feed them.
