I don't think you have any understanding of how quickly a human will die in a wet bulb event. AC is, by the actual definition of 'literally', literally more important to sustaining human life than FOOD is, on wet bulb days.

And FOOD cost less than a dollar per day in those places. An AC, including electricity, and assuming their house is airtight enough to keep the cold, costs the same as 20 years worth of food.

Check your privilege, as they say.
