Summary

Trump’s move to defund USAID is causing unintended consequences for American farmers and businesses.

The Washington Post reports that USAID purchases billions in U.S. agricultural products, with American farms supplying 41% of its food aid.

The funding freeze has already halted $340 million in food shipments, leaving tons of wheat stranded in Houston.

Experts warn this decision directly harms American jobs and businesses, as much of USAID’s aid is administered through U.S.-based organizations employing American workers.

      Britain had to fuck up and destabilize a shitload of countries to build its empire. China is being handed it’s global dominance on a silver platter due to the fact that the US several other Western nations are too far up their own white supremacist libertarian assholes to actually fix shit.

      I mean Milei in Argentina is such an unmitigated disaster it isn’t funny, but they praise him like he is somehow uplifting the country when now 7 out of 10 Argentinian children are living in poverty.
