All DOGE required was contact information of the recipients to confirm that funding was not fraudulent. No validated medical funding was stopped.
Anything that appeared to be legitimate lifesaving funding continued and is now administered by the State Department.
If anyone had actually died as a result of DOGE, their names would be worldwide headline news!
On the other hand, USAID did help fund the Wuhan Virology Institute, which caused the deaths of millions, and the revolution that started the Russia-Ukraine war.
USAID and other shady leftist charities used real suffering as a human shield for leftist graft!
Almost 57% of USAID money to Haiti was...spent inside the DC Beltway.
Just 2% made it to Haiti.
If you are asking “Why push back against anti-datacenter efforts?” I consider it a tragedy that anti-nuclear efforts largely strangled nuclear power in the US based on vibes, and I don’t want to see that happen to AI. Public opinion matters, and it shouldn’t be ceded unchallenged.
If you are asking “Why should I support AI efforts at all?” I believe we are in the midst of a transition more vibrant than the industrial revolution. Opinions formed a couple of years ago about the uselessness of AI are no longer valid. Millions of people and organizations are getting great returns from using it, and the demand for data centers is the market responding to the value signal. That is how progress is made!
More riddles for @RoKhanna. The President of El Salvador came to the same conclusion as DOGE and celebrated the shutdown of USAID. Are you accusing the President who reduced his country’s murder rate by 95% of supporting the murder of children?
You can map the collapse of the West by its denial of the True, then the Good, and finally the Beautiful.
All that’s left to replace them are power, performance, and pleasure.
Exactly.
If there were mass deaths due to USAID, when are they? I would like to call the bereaved parents!
Nobody died is the truth, but a lot of fraud, funding bioweapons and foreign government interference was stopped.
Many lives were saved as a result of stopping the bad parts of USAID funding. The parts of funding that have some chance of doing good remain in place and were transferred to the State Department.
It’s all fake and gay.
Government and media manufactured the “class war” then pivoted to race war to absolve the state of blame for the 2008 crisis, sideline the Tea Party with racist media attacks, and consolidate power in leftist hands.
The crash was produced by Fed money printing, Fannie and Freddie guarantees, and government mandates that forced risky loans into the system.
When it collapsed the insiders got bailed out. The public absorbed the damage.
The Tea Party demanded accountability for the bailouts and spending.
Media met that challenge by branding the movement racist from the start. That attack neutralized a direct threat to big government and crony finance.
Occupy was tolerated because it focused on banks and left the state’s central role untouched.
And since the “racist” accusations worked on the Tea Party, the pivot to race delivered new tools for state expansion.
Media usage of the word racist surged after 2012. Equity and systemic claims became the justification for deeper government reach into hiring, lending, education, and speech.
The result is consolidated leftist power. The administrative state grew larger and more intrusive. Progressive ideology gained institutional dominance while opposition gets preemptively discredited rather than debated on substance.
This sequence protected the government from reckoning with the crisis it created and shifted authority toward those who thrive on bigger government and identity based control.
Now the woke narrative is crumbling, watch them pivot back to a class war.
