This is very sad.

The US has eliminated basic human compassion. One of the many goals of the human race is to help one another. It’s not the only goal and may not be the most important one. However, as a species we should be trying to help our fellow humans wherever they are.

Cutting aid and also being part of the axis of evil is just unbelievable.

That’s 3.3 million estimated deaths caused by DOGE illegally shutting down a congressionally established and funded agency of the US government:

- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS

- 500,000 from lack of vaccines

- 550,000 from lack of food aid

- 290,000 from malaria

- 310,000 from TB
