AC and Zippers

I was on the train today and almost died of hypothermia. New York has been experiencing the weirdest summer this year and it really hasn't been hot at all. Last week it actually started to get ridiculously cold and I could no longer leave the house without a sweatshirt or jacket of some sort. Today it really couldn't have been more than 70 degrees outside and yet the AC was blasting inside the train. It amazes me that America constantly preaches on the wasteful and polluting practices of other countries (mainly third world) and yet the little things we do are absolutely ridiculous. On a day like today, every shopping mall and every train car should not have been running AC. There should be a rule so mass transit users know when to expect AC on the train and when not to. Scenario: Before going to work Jane Doe checks the weather and sees its going to be 70 degrees. She knows the train will not have AC so she does not bring a jacket out with her. YES? RATIONAL? I think so. We stop being ridiculously wasteful and Jane Doe doesn't have to decide whether or not to bring out a jacket. Stop running ac on the train when it's freezing and stop raising train fares. Thank you.

Of course however, I'm also not the type of person who gets hot easily. I looked around and everyone seemed ok. Some people looked cold but the majority were liking the breeze. Why? Because Americans are fat. Solution: Stop eating so much meat and eat more vegetables. Brings me to another point. America points fingers at other countries for contributing to greenhouse gas emission but no other country blasts ac like us and no other country eats meat like we do. And cows don't just grow off trees. Raising livestock is a major contributor to greenhouse gases. So what do we do? Eat less, lose weight, stop using AC and hey other countries might give a bit more when we tell them to quick emitting carbon dioxide. 

Finally, guys if a fellow male is getting on the train in the beginning of the day with his zipper wide open. please. let a brother know. Dude gets on train today and seriously looked like he had not finished dressing. There are different degrees to the fly being open and I would say this was a 10+. I legitimately felt bad and did not want the man walking around nyc looking like this all day, or at least until he got to work (where some coworkers MUST have told him about his zipper atrocity). However, me being a woman I did not want to embarrass the living hell out of this poor man so I let it go. I really pray he was enlightened about his situation soon. I still cant believe that no guy on the train let him know. I feel like if anything, someone secretly took a picture and posted it on FAIL blog. Which brings me to another rant....for later.
