It’s constantly a peculiar position to be in when you begin to benefit from somebody else’s hardships.
This is something that my friend and I all go through throughout our lives, as my friend and I watch some members of society fall and fail to get back up and my friend and I manage to keep plugging ahead at a steady state, unblessedly, this has been happening a lot during the course of the pandemic, but recently, it also has been a major component of the heating, cooling, and air quality control industry.
Those of us who can afford high quality central temperature control systems are absolutely able to keep our homes heated and cooled to the ideal temperature range. My buddy and I never have to worry about our indoor air quality or exposure to the elements because my friend and I have reliable central heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment. So few of us ever stop to suppose about the people who cannot afford updates on their indoor air handling control devices. For instance, the families who cannot afford to have central heating or cooling in their houses. Recently, this has become a larger issue as Freon has become an illegal substance. So many of the local households were operating old college a/cs that required Freon as the cooling refrigerant. This year, when they found out that Freon was now illegal and recharging their cooling system component was impossible, I know a lot of folks who lost out on their cooling systems. I wish I could say that there was a great solution for these poor souls with broken HVAC systems… but, honestly, I’m glad that I can benefit off buying up their useless indoor air quality control equipment at my scrapyard.
