I'm not low-income, but I'm feeling very vulnerable.

I'll wait for delivery, each day until 3.

I believe it also includes a $50 rebate on all purchases of "qualified, energy-saving air-conditioning units" for everyone until the end of next month.

Who’s going to help them pay their power bill? Air conditioners use a lot of energy, further contributing to the heating of our planet. Ironic to think that this is the solution to cooling ourselves.

This really feels like a handout to the rich.
