PEPFAR...and other sentimental thoughts about USA (#1)

Read THIS.

Now I understand that this subject matter is a little intense compared to the usual extremeash chatter but it doesn't fit on HPC, PP, or Vixens (this one's secret)...so it's making its way to EA.

#1 - I applaud Congress and the President (yes, I said it) for working together on this hugely important bill.

This presidential legacy has left a lot to be desired, but when something like this happens, it restores my faith that I live in an amazing country that I should in fact be quite proud of.

The United States provides 1/5 of all the funding for AIDS prevention and treatment funding in the world. IN THE WORLD. All other countries and agencies combined. I know we're fucking up in a lot of ways right now...but I am proud that we're trying to do some things right.
