USAID SHUT DOWN

Email notices were sent out to workers to not show up to work today. With the shutting down of this agency many people in the poorer countries will begin to feel more hardships.

More migration I guess?

a big function of USAID is to cultivate taste for American goods, ultimately helping US producers.

You still have your security clearance and detail???
Or have you already been retired?!

Very likely, these officials seem to not care that their policies are the main drivers of migration. Having people live on a dollar a day

Musk is already looting the treasury.

All this tariff nonsense is just a distraction from what they are doing to dismantle and destroy the machinery and apparatus of government.

According to their Project 2025 manifesto their objective is to cause massive chaos and disruptions to the government and the economy and trigger a crash a la 2008. Then the billionaires will pick up the scraps for pennies. This was Putin's playbook when the Russian Oligarchs took over their economy.

Yep! And buy up all the real estate state and make everyone else renters for life!

In reply to StumpCam

Yep.

And once the price of everything else goes up (like everyday household items) as a result of these idiotic tariffs, they will not come back down when the tariffs are gone - because of the unadulterated greed of capitalists.

In reply to SnoopDog

Exactly!! Time and time again we have seen prices go up and never come back down.

usaid and all foreign aid is a trap to keep developing nations overly reliant on these powerful nations in order to influence their economies and foreign policy
