You obviously don’t live anywhere near texas. No houses have insulation for this kind of weather.

It’s like if I went to Canada and started shitting on people unable to deal with 110f weather without electricity .

Insulation works in both directions. If you use AC a lot in summer, the same insulation is doing you good

Without adding heat, you're still not going to stay warm for long though. my window may have been bent so it couldn't close in winter throughout child hood, but we still had a heater on.

Watch out for your windows. Hanging stuff to act like curtains will help

Doubt it. But keep on shitting on people going through a severe weather disaster to make yourself feel better. Guess you really need it
