No way I'm letting a woman run the thermostat...

We'll all freeze (or roast) to death...

Never heard of that show... Go figure...

But there was another movie "Biosphere" starring Pauly Shore that was out 20-30 years ago...

Not if you buy one of those programmable ones, and don't tell her how to use it...

Not that I'd ever do such a thing...

No, no no. When I wake up at 3AM, sweating and drenched, gasping for air, I know my wife messed with the thermostat again. Also in the 80's a study was done about what causes the most conflict in an office between the sexes (we had two back then). Answer was, of course, the temperature.

And fires are burning all over the West - I wonder what is causing all this HEAT?

Not a dome like this one, I hope. Under the Dome (novel - Wikipedia)

I have zero animosity towards those with astounding amounts of $$$$. They earned it...as did you...let it go because it sounds childish and hypocritical. Without them you would be stuck where you were.
Let them eat cake!

This was a joke, it was only a joke, and was slightly tongue-in-cheek aim at those who complain about the developers making too much money.
Making money is admirable in a FAIR society. Using money to gain the power to change the tax and other rules to benefit yourself IS a BIG problem! Society becomes unbalanced and that is what caused the French Revolution!
