    Up to now, the incompetence has met with loss of money, inconvenience and quite a bit of fear and uncertainty.

    The longer this incompetence lasts, especially now that hurricane season is about to start … expect this government incompetence to start costing lives … lots of lives. Not just from the immediate consequences of serious natural events happening but from the lack of or delayed or mismanaged actions that will happen when relief and rescue efforts will be required to saved lives.

    Everyone shrugs off the stupidity right now because it isn’t hurting or killing people … that’s going to change in the next few months and expect the US to start getting severely damaged and destroyed, with no help or adequate recovery in sight.

        The cuts to USAID are estimated at over 300, 000 worldwide. 200, 000 are thought to be children. His incompetence killed millions during covid. Remember at the start, he wanted it to spread as it was in cities, more than rural, so he thought it might help him politically.

      The incompetence has already caused hundreds of thousands of American deaths in the first Trump term. People seem to have forgotten about that and covid in general.
