[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m petty. I saw a compilation of MAGA who FAFO. White woman (in what looked like big, nice kitchen) losing SNAP. A farmer losing $ due to USAID closure. A woman from Venezuela whose entire community supported Trump.

I know, innocent people are being hurt but except for the white woman (with clothes with no holes and a nice looking house) they should know! A farmer who doesn’t know who he’s selling to? Sounds like a bad business person. He deserves this. Or the Venezuelan who thought she would be an exception but was fine with Africans and other Latinos to be deported? Idiot.

I’m not on ticktock where most people are posting. Please share. Yeh, I’m petty. [/quote]

Keep in mind, the farmer sells his grain or soybeans at the elevator. It's not some USAID employee coming to his farm with a truck. They issue procurement invites and companies like Cargill, I imagine, bid on them. And to do so you have tons of paperwork to be enroll in such programs, I imagine it's similar to getting set up to be able to bid on federal contracts (I did Hubzone setup for my son last year, and it was a project getting all the documentation they required compiled specifically according to their requirements).

There's ripple effect.  USAID sends millions of dollars worth of grain and other things all over the world to aid in building American soft power.  That gets cut off, and the contracts get canceled.  A USAID contract was probably with someone like Cargill but then Cargill in turn buys from a slew of local farmers.  Cargill's contract gets canceled and in turn they cancel their contracts with local farmers and boom.  So even though the farmers didn't directly contract with USAID they lost their contract.

Americans really need to start doing a lot more critical thinking and start learning to understand the big picture of how everything connects.  This is why they think the government is bloated, wasteful and doesn't do anything - because they take a lot for granted and don't actually understand the big picture of everything the government actually is doing.   Is there waste in government?  Is there layers of bureaucracy?  Sure, but there's actually more accountability and oversight in government than there is in the private sector, and the private sector certainly also has its layers of bloat and bureaucracy, waste and fraud, sometimes worse than government.[/quote]
