As far as theyre concerned if you had no window it would be a lovely thing. This is the craziest plan that anybody has ever seen. They want to make your windows smaller. That was donald trump during the second president ial debate in 2020 attacking joe bidens Climate Change agenda. Now, biden never proposed making americas windows smaller.
