well, can't say he's not following up on his election promises

Now hold my beer for a sec, but isn't the IRC a NGO?

Project 2025 baby!
Please let me off this train. -
Now I see what MAGA stands for. Make America (a) Great Asshole.

The wealthy need that money WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE WEALTHY
-
Except for the lowering grocery prices thing.
-
sure, but who cares about that? ^/s^
-
Why does my gut feeling tell me this is breaking some international laws? Not that anything will be done, just saying this reeks of illegal.
-
They want a pandemic. All of the things they have done so far regarding public health can only be explained that way as far as I can tell.

Remember, any time you see people talking about "the economy", just replace that with "rich people's yacht money" and things will start making more sense.

Eggs in my area have already gone up like $1/dozen in the last week.

"International Law" is much different thing from normal law. There is no real enforcement mechanism, so it's very much a case of "might makes right". In this particular case, it sounds like Trump pulled funding, which is not the same as shutting it down, even if the effect on the refugees is the same.

It's straight up genocide.

Pandemics means economic drops and supply chain interruptions, which means the currently-wealthy can buy up the rest of the world at fire sale prices and price gouge for what's left.
Ten richest men in the world doubled their wealth to 1.5tn during covid. They want to repeat that. Millions dead is a minor side effect they don't care about.

I have been specifically thinking about getting a bunch of those printed and slapping them on egg price tags at grocery stores. Glad I'm not the only one.
-
Wasn't/Isn't reducing world population a big deal for the rich as well? They want just the right amount of "people" to keep their luxurious lifestyles going.

Make America Geriatric Autocracy

None of their lifestyles will survive climate change but the jokes on us first.
