Heard a guy on a podcast say he keeps a little window unit in his car trunk as a backup for situations like this. Sounds a bit crazy but honestly after reading your post I get it. Glad you made it through the rush.

It's the same pattern you see with food labels and where stuff is made. For years companies hid that their clothes were made overseas or that their "fresh" juice was from concentrate, then a few started putting it right on the front of the box and people trusted them more for it. My cousin runs a bakery and she started listing every single ingredient including the stuff people usually hide, and her sales went up because folks felt like she had nothing to hide. Once everyone can check things on their phone in two seconds, hiding stuff just makes you look worse than whatever you were hiding.
