USAID was determined to have saved 25 million lives. I will never be the kind of person who
longed to end saving those lives
traded $270M for access to USA's most sensitive data
in an effort to end that life saving
and is overtly proud to have restored death tolls where they could.
I'm a newborn shill for Ulefone. They come unlocked and the manufacturer supports rooting. The devices are rugged, heavy on features and are (still) reasonably priced.
The net global birth rate is still above replacement, and many parts of the world much higher. The species is not going extinct because some of us are below maintenance rates.
>COVID was a relatively minor example of this, not even close to an extinction event - how pleasant was existence during that time?
For me it was mostly terrific. We had increased streams of revenue and were food secure for the first time in a decade. Meetings I dreaded due to crowds were streamed online.
And the roads were blessedly, amazingly, wonderfully travelable.
The housing crisis in 2021 was another matter entirely. Our long term rental was sold and what few listings there were got 400 hundred applications - every day.
2020 was excellent for us. 2021 was a slow moving, panic-strewn nightmare.
Seems like example #4,998,402 of an EO usurping congressional authority to bring harm to vulnerable people until expensive lawsuits are filed and ruled on.
From the article
The EO ends the extension of credit to high-risk borrowers
[ed: the poor] that American citizens are forced to subsidize.
This activity includes extending mortgages, credit cards, and
auto loans to illegal aliens.
No evidence of Americans forced being "forced to subsidize" loans to poor people was asked for or provided.
The article also seems light on details on what is in the bills. I'm curious what the feds could do that would broadly help the housing crisis - particularly for folks who most need the help.
