[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our good friends worked for USAID - never knew it as they were contractors and I just assumed NGO, state department or foreign service. Anyway; they got fired - it totally sucks. But, really; if I have known these people for years but never even heard of the federal agency they were contractors for why is everyone freaking out? Foreign aid will always be a part of US national security- and I am sure it will resume…but in the scheme of things this is not really an issue. Potentially firing thousands of FBI agents seems a lot more serious.[/quote] Your good friends just got fired, but because they never told you the acronym of their funding source your response is “meh, guess it didn’t matter anyway.” I am one of those people losing their jobs due to the foreign aid freeze. My work saved babies. Now it is gone and babies will die. Is that enough for you to feel more than “meh” for them? How about for me? Friend my a$$.[/quote]
