      Not just food but everything. One of the valid criticisms of USAID is that it’s more a subsidy program for American companies than an international aid program as it will buy American products even when it could be bought or made locally.

      They are making videos claiming that Elon has proven all USAIDE money is paying 3mil a week for high fives. I’m not making that up, that’s literally one of their claims. I know that sounds REALLY made up, but I’m not being cute here, get actually are claiming this is what tax revenue is spent on never realizing it’s incredibly self serving spending in the first place, they have no idea how the house of cards is stacked and they are digging through the mechanisms blindly ripping things out.
