re: 518,428 children have died preventable deaths in the year since Musk dismantled USAID

I thought they were still counting the dead bodies in the street from Trump's first term tax cuts that were going to kill all of the senior citizens. How did they find the time to come up with this number?

Worldwide, there are around 360k children born per day. USAID spent $21.7B in 2024 to improve survivability in other countries by .4%. We spent $42k per foreign child saved.

And that's assuming their 518,428 number isn't complete bullshite, which of course it is.

I wonder how much mother jones is giving? They want to save the children, don’t they?

The WHO estimate for childhood mortality (under 5) in 2023 is 4.8 million.

WHO

500K is less than a year would reflect greater than a 10% increase. I can't prove it isn't true, but I find that number very difficult to believe.

Mother jones is leftist propaganda.

Those deaths are on the pernicious and evil GRIFTERS. Damn them to hell, both here and abroad. The only time Jesus was ever provoked and resorted to violence was when he took a whip to the Temple Moneychangers.

I would like to see the day that "the swords are hammered into plow shears", but we've got some serious hurt to bear before that happens. Live and learn.

I’m surprised they didn’t go with the number 6 million.

Bet this number means nothing to those people:


World Health Organization (WHO) and the Guttmacher Institute, approximately 73 million induced abortions take place worldwide each year

Now that’s a rag I hadn’t heard about in ages.
