Having destroyed America's aid agency, President Trump is now withholding GAVI vaccines from poor countries--like a $3 vaccine against malaria, and a $4 vaccine against cervical cancer. Countless thousands will die. Destroying aid is Trump's single most lethal policy:

I don't know where I'm going with this. I just think it's crazy how everyone just knows family farmers are poor & need to be saved. But they've made more money than non-farmers (yes, AFTER farm debts & expenses) every single year since 1997.

Bottom line: Every single factoid you'll hear about agriculture is curated by the farm lobby & PR firms, & fed to you to make you panic & feel like you have to give farmers money. Or else. Just... keep that in mind when you see panicky headlines.

The stated cost of the Iran war ($25 billion so far) now exceeds the 2024 annual budget for USAID ($22 billion). What better summary of current US foreign policy? Trump and Elon left hundreds of thousands left to die of preventable illnesses, and spent the money on a pointless war of choice.
