And it's all Elon Musk's fault that people died when that (USAID) funding was cut.
quote:

Elon, I can give you many, many names of people who have died because of your aid cuts.: *Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because you stopped paying for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.

Apparently, these weeping turds don't understand. They are broke. We are broke and in debt almost $40 trillion. It is not our responsibility to pay their bills. Any of their bills.

Every dollar we spend in Liberia is a dollar that isn't available for mental health for veterans, or dental care for American kids, etc. They just assume an endless pot of money is available.

They do understand. They don’t agree. They think it is your responsibility, and that is because they are your enemy. It’s time people start realizing this. They do not mean well for you or your family and the world is entitled to your income, and it’s because “you are privileged.”

National guilt over white privilege, no doubt.

I have a strong suspicion that USAID wouldn't have existed if it wasn't for the cold war, and our not misplaced desire to make sure the USSR/Warsaw Pact didn't socially engineer countries into becoming Commie aligned.

And yet, here we are, electing "democratic socialists" in the USA.

We weren't buying their fuking diesel. They were stealing the money and providing nothing.

Who's going to fund their campaign now?

This campaign ain't going to fund itself.

Maybe a population shouldn’t be x if it can only support y.

If the US subsidizes the entire food supply and housing / healthcare in Liberia what would the population reach? Did we kill all of those hypothetically people by not doing this? If so we are murderers if we don’t spend every last dime on Liberia, not just pay for their diesel.

Nicholas Kristof Is a cold blooded killer if he still has any money in his personal checking account.

I made the same argument about churches and tax exemptions a day ago, but I suspect you're high AF.

If leftists are adamant that we should not be the world’s policeman, then I am adamant that we should not be the world’s social worker.
