Lol bro mild cold is like 20s and 30s

and youre talking working in hot weather whereas merely being outside for five minutes in extreme cold is life threatening

like schools have snow days here sometimes simply because it gets too cold for kids to safely wait outside for the bus

Objectively, extreme heat is better than extreme cold.

Extreme heat is extremely uncomfortable. Extreme cold is literally painful.

No amount of lairs will keep you comfortable on an extreme cold and windy day. Drink plenty of water and you can slog it out a terrible hot/humid day.

And if you work an office job, safer conditions for your commute on a hot day than one where there's snow or ice on the ground. Then you hit the office and it doesn't matter anyways.

Youre not using a fair comparison. If youre using weathers so cold that its painful and dangerous then the fair comparison would be something like 110 degrees where you could easily get heat stroke.

I've had asshole roommates who refuse to budge on the thermostat; I literally am physically unable to sleep if it's over 70 degrees in the house. I sleep in my underwear. I have a fan in my room. There's nothing else I can do to cool down further, but you can put on an extra blanket fairly easily.

I'll definitely take the heat. Even in hot areas like Vegas, unless it is just SUPER and unusually hot, during the evening and nights things cool down and you can walk around out and about in shorts and flip flops.

When it's cold, it's cold all day and all night. Going outside will make you want to bundle up really good, and if it's windy you won't want to be out in it long.

There's also no natural settings that can easily save you from the cold. For instance, there's always trees or buildings or something that provides shade without going indoors. You can't escape the cold unless you go inside. You also can't jump in a pool or lake.
