The “1 life every 10 seconds” claim is fallacious. Musk is (inadvertently) correct. The money Kristof cites goes to gatekeepers, not relief workers. And the net impact of the so-called aid, particularly in Palestine, Jordan, Ethiopia, and Nigeria, are higher mortality rates caused by these foreign policy initiatives.
Just straight up, handing out aid money to Israel Settlers does not reduce the death toll in the West Bank. Just the opposite. Subsidizing food exports from El Salvador so Walmart can buy cheaper groceries wholesale does not reduce famine inside the country.
You are being lied to with these statistics. You are being lied to by the NYT.
I’m being lied to by you and a callous trillionaire you’re carrying water for. You want me to defend something and argue with you. I’m not taking the bait. Go back to Xitter
Who said that bro? classic tactic of bad faith reactionaries everywhere: Seize on minor discrepancies, make process complaints and attack the messenger rather than assessing the core claims on the merits.
I’m not even sure which change of subject you’re trying to skewer me on, you’ve lost the plot mate
You really might want to research what you’re arguing
I haven’t argued anything but the illegal and reckless nature of DOGE. You are arguing and insinuating A LOT
Isn’t a defense of the horrible policies imposed through USAID
Yea so that’s not the topic. You want it to be. You should make your own post

If you put your trust in the NYT, I’ve got some Yellow Cake Uranium to sell you.
