   I don't care. Elon Musk isn't fucking president of the United States;

   Here's a small taste of what USAID has been doing with your tax money:

  
   I'm sure every single government agency, including Library of Congress,
   has absurd spending on pointless projects. But true government reform
   takes real work, not just these power trips locking all the employees
   out. Or lobby Congress to sunset the agency. Anything is better than
   these stupid games.
  

 I had a thought tonight.. .If we don't fund these programs what if China
 steps in to do so? Then what happens?

 
 If China wants to fund a DEI musical in Ireland, let them.
 
 If China wants to throw its money away paying for transgender operas in
 Colombia, who cares?
 

USAID does a lot more that DEI.

To all the people defending the USAID spending, name any other country that
taxes their citizens and sends the money to the United States.
