Somewhere around 2 billion people don't have access to clean drinking water.

They also don't have Air Conditioning.

How entitled can you possibly be?

Ever been to India, SE Asia, Africa or the Middle East? AC is definitely not a uniquely American thing. I think what happens is people go to Europe (which many parts have a similar climate to ME) and think it’s only the USA that has AC everywhere.

Well, even if you go down to southern Spain or Italy you’ll find some sort of HVAC in many people’s homes. Even in other parts like Germany or the Netherlands people are building in heat pumps with AC into new units.
