• Projections by the researchers show that if USAID cuts continue, more than 14 million additional deaths could occur by 2030, including over 4.5 million among children under 5, or about 700,000 extra child deaths per year.
  • The figures reflect the projected consequences of halting funding not only for health services but also for critical sectors such as nutrition, education, water and sanitation and humanitarian relief.
  • The study warns that the impact of USAID cuts could extend beyond the agency’s own programs: international donors may also reduce their commitments, further weakening service delivery in countries already dependent on external support.

      You’re not informing anyone. You’re pointing fingers and not even at the people who are actually carrying out these policies. What you’re really doing is trying to do a barely-disguised smug “I told ya so”. Those protest non-voters told democrats that they need to clean their act up or they would lose and would you look at that, they were right, so I guess they’re the champions of “I told ya so” but I don’t see them try to rub it in people’s faces like you.

        The other guy might not be mad but I am. Maybe when they accept responsibility for contributing to the millions that are going to die globally and the genocide ramping up domestically, we can talk. Until then, they’re just a step shy of collaborators, having refused to do the bare minimum to oppose fascism. There were only two possible outcomes in the general election:

        1. Fascism.
        2. Whoever the dems nominated

        Pretending otherwise is just the fallacy of Denying the Correlative. There were no other options and abstaining only increased the chance of a fascist win.

          While true, also under the two party system the republicans are guaranteed to win at least sometimes. If democrats refuse to actually oppose fascism when they get into office then we’re going to end up with fascism after maybe a few extra steps anyway. Fascism has to be dealt with at the root level or it will grow enough to take over eventually.

          I’ve heard of coomers and nooticers, but infoormers? That’s a new one, but just as lame.

      There is no data to suggest that protest non voters swung the results and some recent data from Pew that they did not.

      If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at Dems for choosing policies they knew in advance would supress turnout.

      But again, this election was neither free nor fair. Only those who engineered this coup are responsible for it.

        I’m not mad either. I’m informing protest non voters what they actually voted for. Something tells me you’ll strawman again so ciao.

          That wasn’t a strawman, it was a direct challenge to your claim that non-voters decided the election.

            The strawman were 1) that I was blaming 2) that I was mad. I think you know this. I’ll say it once more: I am informing protest non voters what they voted for. I’m out.
