If tweet fails to load, click here. Explanations:
quote:
Why? First, foreign aid just isn't very good at saving lives to begin with (maybe with the exception of extraordinary disaster relief, like after severe crop failure or an earthquake)
quote:
Second, people don't just keel over and die when they stop getting something cheap + essential (and the high death count models rely on USAID programs being both) - they find other ways of getting it, like paying for it themselves.
quote:
Third, designated lifesaving programs were re-funded by Congress (which is, in theory, how the USG is supposed to work).
So, essentially, USAID was what economists call an inefficient allocation of monies. It funded activity that would have happened anyway in the absence of the funding.

Eliminating trans videos on how honeybees are bisexual doesn’t have any effect on the mortality rate.

Lunatics on reddit.com don't care and will continue to spout these talking points.
I saw someone accuse Musk of killing people through USAID cuts yesterday, and they will tomorrow.
Once liberal supporters get ahold of a talking point, they are like my dog with a bone... you can pick the bone up, but the dog is coming with it.

How can aid save lives when 90 cents on every dollar is stolen?
