Yes, that makes sense. I stubbed my toe on this table, so now I’m gonna hit this apple with a hammer.
NPR just ran an article about the consequences of PEPFAR aid reduction in Zambia, and it’s heartbreaking.

All Republicans should be tried for crimes against humanity.
God the US is such a fucking shithole.
Any old excuse to not offer a hand to someone with too dark a skin tone for this arse.
Pepfar funding, which had been providing about a fifth of South Africa’s total spending on HIV programmes, got a reprieve last October with what was called a “bridge plan”.
But a US State Department official has confirmed that a “phased drawdown” of Pepfar funding would now start.
This was because of “South Africa’s failure to make demonstrable progress on policy requests by the administration”, the official said.
So bizarre.
Making that decision based on disinformation is par for the course for this administration.
Stay classy America.
I really hope the rest of the world can step up and fill the void the US is leaving 🤞
Rest of the world has been dumb as bricks and worshiped at the temple of wall st and followed American monetary policy. Whole world is poor as shit cause line must always go up at the expense of everything.
