This. The job market in this geographic area is damaged by DOGE and the job market in her specific field was destroyed. That doesn't mean she was overpaid for the work she did before that happened. It means the world changed. [/quote]

It was a fake job market, a big scam to funnel money to an industry that shouldn't exist except to fund itself. [/quote]
Anyone who doesn’t see the benefit of USAID is naive or stupid.

Sure, there was some waste built in. Some people were overpaid (though I argue everyone in finance or law is overpaid and they make people’s lives worse not better), some programs weren’t cost effective, but there was real, measurable, meaningful net gain. Even if you don’t think that fighting HIV, treating TB in millions, educating girls, empowering women to not get pregnant until they want to, building roads, etc is good in and of itself (which, if you aren’t a psychopath, it is) AT LEAST you must acknowledge that those programs curb Islamic extremism, slow climate change, and actually supply the American government with an incredible amount of sway over the countries whose programs we were in.

Y’all some idiotic ayn rand stans in here or something.[/quote]
