[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Umm, then why doesn't Bill use his very large fortune to replace that funding?

Sounds like Bill also doesn't care about those kids. [/quote]

Are you truly dim?  Bill Gates has committed his billions to the Gates Foundation which has public health as a core part of its mission.  And those billions won't live earning interest in an endowment-it will be spent down in the next 20 years.  But as big and important as the Gates Foundation is, it's not enough to replace the billions from the US Government that were committed for USAID.  Elon Musk and DOGE do indeed have blood on their hands for killing innocent children with the unprofessional way they shut down USAID humanitarian aid overnight, which did not give any chance for governments and donors to try to replace that aid in a way that didn't leave babies starving to death.

[quote]The children died one after the other. Twelve acutely malnourished infants living in one corner of Sudan’s war-ravaged capital, Khartoum.

Abdo, an 18-month-old boy, had been rushed to a clinic by his mother as he was dying. His ribs protruded from his withered body. The next day, a doctor laid him out on a blanket with a teddy bear motif, his eyes closed.

Like the other 11 children, Abdo starved to death in the weeks after President Trump froze all U.S. foreign assistance, said local aid workers and a doctor. American-funded soup kitchens in Sudan, including the one near Abdo’s house, had been the only lifelines for tens of thousands of people besieged by fighting.

Bombs were falling. Gunfire was everywhere. Then, as the American money dried up, hundreds of soup kitchens closed in a matter of days.

“It was catastrophic,” said Duaa Tariq, an aid worker. [/quote]
