USAID: provides a lot of bang for the buck.  Provides real-deal strategic benefit both at home and abroad.

Good. Then they should be resilient to a full and transparent auditing of their spending.

. . . and that's not happening.  The spending is being cut because DEI, something something.

Correct. Elon and the guys from Pied Piper have skipped right past auditing and are into the cutting phase. (That's the best case scenario because who the fuck really knows what kind of info Elon is truly harvesting from the classified files.)

How about you speak to what is actually happening

We just shot a government entity that had a history of funding torture training in south america into the sun. I am ok with that. I think that the farmers will be fine.

And someday, when somebody buns you down, instead of weighing all of the things you've done, we can say "someone just took out someone who is a known liar.  I'm okay with that."*

 

* Because every single human has told a lie at some point in their life.  If the benchmark for whether it's okay to destroy something or someone is "has it ever done anything I don't morally agree with," then we should exterminate all humans and all human endeavors.  FFS, Mother Teresa surely did something bad/evil at some point in her life.  The sane approach to....literally everything....is to evaluate it in its full measure.  You, on the other hand, are literally espousing the logical fallacy of "if person/endeavor X has ever done a single thing wrong, then he/it should be destroyed."  That is incredibly stupid.

But, it does fit the pattern.  Yet again.....there's literally nothing that Trump and Elon can do that you don't support.  It's amazing, you claim you don't care for them, yet you are their most steadfast defender on this board.  Hell, your statements that you don't care for them have been proven to be a lie, so I don't even need to look back in your deep past to find a lie.  I can find it right here in these threads.

ITT people who've never heard of USAID before this week express strong expert opinions on its efficacy and merit.

You are ignoring the people on this board and in this very thread who have direct experience with/knowledge of USAID, or at least pretty strong secondhand knowledge.  This week is not the first that most of us have heard of USAID.

Do you think that, in going after something that is a tiny sliver of our total budget, Elon is 1) actually pursuing a goal of fiscal responsibility, or 2) pursuing a personal agenda/vendetta?  Because the equivalent of this is me declaring that we must get control of our household budget, and me starting by throwing out all of the decorative soaps in the guest bathroom and forbidding the purchase of any future decorative soaps, then strutting around and saying "look at me, the budget slasher!"

Elon can multitask.  $40 billion annually here.  $40 billion there.  It adds up to real money.  Nothing like the $200 billion we've handed over to Ukraine, $100 billion which disappeared like a fart in the wind.

Brisket on board with obfuscating torture training in latin american countries and simultaneously not understanding how USAID as an entity is viewed by others throughout the world is non-shocking.

Actually, my statement presumed, without questioning, that your allegation is correct.  I am a grown-ass man.  I am aware that every single institution of any real size and duration  will have at least one (usually more) black marks on its record.  And USAID's track record, particularly in the hottest era of the Cold War, includes more than one example of shitty actions.

You have decreed that having any moral black mark merits total destruction.  As in, the total ledger of good and bad is irrelevant.  If there is an entry on the "bad" side of the ledger, it has to go.  I simply noted the folly of such an approach, as your personal ledger - and the ledger of every living human and every human institution -- surely has at least one such entry.  It's a stupid rule, and one that, if you apply it consistently, means that every human and every enterprise must burn.

You quite literally had no knowledge of USAID one week ago, so take your pompous self somewhere else.

Not so much. Rather, that's RT's interpretation of his statement that about $100 billion did not flow directly into the Gov's coffers, but instead went to humanitarian aid orgs, and other related entities, including US companies

its funny though, when you google the "loss of 100 million" the only results are RT and other Russian alligned media sources. Then you come here, and its you and  Sack parroting that same line. Curious.

 

It's almost like sack and ana are propagandist pieces of shit or something.

Yeah amazing so many people are distracted by 200+ years of Constitutional order being steamrolled by an unelected billionaire. If GOP doesn’t like it- they’ve got both houses of Congress. 
 

Never mind the costs to privacy, national security and literal human lives. *waves hands* it’s just so unimportant 

But they think this will somehow a) get them a pay raise and b) lower the cost of living.  So fuck all that land of the free rule of law shit.

Zelenskyy has said as much on camera.

No, he didn't you uninformed dumbass. Here's what he actually about the 100 billion that went "missing" said since you can't do any critical thinking or know how to use Google.

Quote

Today, we hear from the U.S. that America has given Ukraine hundreds of billions - specifically, $177 billion, to be precise. As the President of a country at war, I tell you: we have received a little over $75 billion. That means we never received $100 billion of that $177 billion. And that is important," he said

$50MM in condoms sent to which Gaza. This is great shit guys. Total clown show stuff. 

Go do the least you can to educate yourself on any of these topics, instead of parroting what you see posted on Facebook.

Hey here is the thing in sub-Saharan Africa. They like to dry fuck. This isn't a secret. Like literally run sand in that pussy before you stick your dick in. I don't get it. But maybe sending millions of dollars for condoms isn't a particularly evidence based public health strategy. Meet people where they are it. We should be promoting wet pussy programming in those regions. It would actually move the needle on AIDS transmission.

Sorry, the AI disagrees.

 

"Meet people where they are at" is a phrase that means to understand and respect a person's current situation, feelings, and perspective. It's about acknowledging their experiences and adapting your approach to their needs. 

What it means

Consider their background: Understand where they come from and what might be influencing them. 

Consider their limitations: Work with them according to their physical or mental capabilities. 

Empathy: Consider their perspective and feelings, and listen to them without judgment. 

Respect: Honor their choices and circumstances. 

Tailor your approach: Adapt your communication to their needs.

Where it's used

Social work: A key principle of social work, especially when working with patients. 

Street medicine: Bringing healthcare to people in encampments, parks, shelters, and other places. 

Human connection: A way to connect with people and help them realize they're not alone.

This article you link to is over ten years old and includes this in the third paragraph:

Looking into the trend, I found that information was thin. Most of the studies I did find were more than a decade old. The impression was that the issue was endemic, but hard figures were few and far between.

'Dry Sex' - the horrific practice in some parts of Africa that has gone previously undiscovered

It involves reducing the moistness of a woman's vagina with sponges and bleach so that it feels tighter during sex for the man. Completely awful.

Ana is the ESPN reporter rationalizing the Doncic trade from a basketball perspective citing Luka’s weight and Mavs improved defense.

Meanwhile, a close friend of mine cant help doctors out because our census data has been taken off the internet. Not normal.

That's a 10+ year old article that links and pulls it's sources from the initial 10+ year old vice article you posted already. Literally all it's quotes are pulled from the vice article.
