      Someone cited recently how much we were paying a year just for air conditioning in Afghanistan: $20 billion. Meanwhile we’re like “hey, maybe children shouldn’t be starving in school and forced to throw their lunch in the trash at the end of the line if they can’t pay for it, maybe states shouldn’t be sending parents to collections for a $90 kid’s lunch bill” and conservatives: WHO’S GONNA PAY FOR THAT??
