Except that those temps aren’t normal for those zones…this year, for the first time, i turned on my AC for more than 1 day because it’s just too unbearable
So you’ll stick your head in the sand? You can’t ignore the climate forever. You need air conditioning now, you are no longer in a climate where you don’t need it.
Some people simply don’t have the means to do anything about it. Telling them “just deal with it” is like telling them to pull themselves by their bootstraps.
Not everyone has the means here either and even those of us that do often don’t have the means to run it at comfortable levels- my AC is set to 30c in summer, 18c in winter. Just enough to be tolerable.
But if you don’t have the means, you need to find other ways to cool down - our general advice in heatwaves to the elderly (that are at higher risk and often don’t have the means to run ac all day) is to go to shopping centres, public libraries and government buildings to stay cool.
Drinks LOTS of chilled water.
‘Just deal with it’ isn’t that takeaway, it’s if you do nothing, you will die. The government can’t regulate the whether to be more amenable to human life.

WOW! None of us ever thought about that! I’m sure these people who died would have survived if only they knew about these excellent tricks!
As it turns out though, they are.
They just don’t want to believe it or plan appropriately.

I don’t even know where to begin answering this comment, so I’ll say just this: you should be ashamed of yourself.
