So people are just going to die right?
We’re going to have old people cut off from their health care, rural areas will have their hospitals closed, and people are going to die.
Why is the world such a sick place?
The world? No, it's the US.
Unfortunately, the gutting of USAID and foreign aid programs is projected to kill millions in the developing world.
And don't forget that RFK Jr. wants to let the new strain of bird flu spread. The world could experience a new pandemic in a few years.
A few years feels optimistic. I’d wager on by the end of this year, at the rate everything is getting defunded.
I think people vastly underestimate the effectiveness of annual mitigation efforts by multiple agencies that have either already been cut or on the chopping block.
Many of these agencies go unnoticed because they work well, but will be immediately obvious once they’re gone.
Well, no. It's the world, but especially the US.
It'll absolutely influence the rest of the world though :(
That soft power is increasingly disappearing and is unlikely to return to even a shadow of its former self in decades.
Hopefully this means theres more space for European Union to take leadership!
Agreed but they'll need out of this wave of fascism first.
I sincerely hope the whole world turns against the US-Russian axis of fascism. But y'all will have to do some doing to get there.
I sincerely hope this is the world's last go around with fascism but I'm not so delusional as to think it the case. But I am delusional enough to think maybe someday it will be. Maybe someday we'll win.
Eh, not while it is led by the likes of neoliberal former banksters Macron and Merz... :/
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. As long as European institutions remain strong it can correct for bad temporaryleadership, as soon as you weaken these institutions the correction becomes harder and more expensive.
Yeah, I guess, the EU seems to be holding, at least for now.
These are Americans, they don't understand the difference.
Or we're aware or our country's effect on tge world, especially negative. Some of the US aid and our previous acceptance of asylum seekers in my opinion was required because the US either caused or was complicit in tge reason such aid was needed. Especially in South America, with all the coups and school of the Americas etc.
Listen to that one rep who said we're all gonna die!
We just need to accept the lord jesus into our hearts so that the hereafter will be assured! Fuck the present earth, it should go through trials like extreme weather, rampant sickness, wars etc - that's just a sign that the second coming is near!
/s
A significant number of people running the country right now truly believe this, and are willing to kill for it.
Actively trying to make it happen.
Because they can't get off unless people are suffering. And the current suffering is getting boring, so they have to raise the stakes.
Nah, it's dumber than that. They don't want suffering to lose money, they want all the suffering and misery in the world to be incredibly profitable.
So I am thinking the plan is to simply discard the weak/disabled starting with the old sick folks. The rich have no need for them, as they can provide nothing of monetary value to the rich. Why would they waste good money, time and effort keeping the weak alive. What I don't understand is a blood thirsty vampire like Miller....he's never going to be a billionaire, he's just pushing his Nazi wet dream to simp, he'll never be in their club.
PS forgot to add...the physically well of the 25,000,000 left after this cull get to live life in fudal times serving what is to become something akin to monarchy.

Have you ever seen photos/video of the Nazi high command? Not exactly the picture of "Aryan supremacy." Some part of it has to come from a place of deep self-loathing I think.
Conservatives and religion. There's also a strong overlap between the two.
Yeah they both suck
Reports states 25,000 people in US who uses Medicaid will die every year.
aren't they also going to let ACA subsidies lapse, too? So, the total unnecessary deaths will certainly be higher...
