I have been laughing my ass off for an hour while surfing the internet

I read it as him saying that he has a nice fridge. 

And nope, I've never met anybody in my life who doesn't have a refrigerator in the United States and lives in a permanent housing situation, although I am sure a few exist. 

Here are the statistics. Only .4% of poor households did not have a refrigerator in 2005. 

Wow, 80% air conditiong. I would love to be that poor.

The U.S (even in the Northern states) gets a lot hotter in the summer than much of Europe. A lot of poor people have a room where they put a cheap (<$100)  air conditioner for the hot summers so that if they need to cool off they can just go to that room. It is suppose to be 91F (32.7 C) tomorrow in my relatively nothern location of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and it has been in the high 80's for a week now.  It will be 105 F (40 C) in Tuscon, Arizona tomorrow. The closet climate to Northern Europe in the United States is the Pacific Northwest. 

One of the things the original British and Rhinelander colonists noted about Pennsylvania was that the winters were especially cold and the summers were especially hot, and Pennsylvania is a northern state. 

For diagram below 70F = 21C; 80F = 26C; 90F = 32C;  100F = 37C.
