    On one hand I hate that reckless moves Trump is making and the terrible repercussions that they don’t give a shit about. On the other hand, American “help” often comes at ludicrous costs for those receiving it. It’s like all those “free” Apple computers given to classrooms, that also helped Apple become one of the most powerful corporations of all time.

    America has praised capitalism as the ultimate good, money as the supreme truth and now the world gets to see the end result of people who follow this myopic gospel: a country ran by paid-off puppets by those who own it all.

    Eh, USAID being gone is killing and will kill or leave to die thousands if not millions unless Europe replaces it somehow. So that headline is kinda bad.
