Debating if heating the house or wearing a sweater comes first is privileged country talk
If you come from a place where isolation and HVAC/heating are not common then you're going to wear thicker clothes at home because there is no other way
Sure, you might have a bathroom heater or something but that's pretty much it
So, yeah. Wear that sweatshirt at home because that's extra comfy
Debating the environmental aspects of whether to wear a jumper may be 'privileged' country talk.
Debating whether to wear a jumper has been long discussed in times and countries poorer than our own. You see energy costs, money generally, and the thing that the less privileged tend to have less of is money, so they have to decide more carefully where to spend it.
I don't know why you made this an issue, should we just put on heaters out of respect for the plebs? Self flagellation? What's your solution to this wokian conundrum?
Isn't that privileged by lack of hard winters country talk? The nordics (southern hemisphere doesn't have much land in the "barely habitable zone") can afford heating because readiness for winter is literally the first thing on their mind if they are not, on all levels from individual to state. Sure, you don't see much of that happening these days because they just are, but that's no accident.
It really goes to fundamental designs of buildings. Like for example location of fireplace. In Nordic country it would never be on the outer wall. That is just wasteful.
