Food rations that could supply 3.5 million people for a month are mouldering in warehouses around the world because of U.S. aid cuts and risk becoming unusable, according to five people familiar with the situation.
The food stocks have been stuck inside 4 U.S. government warehouses since the Trump administration’s decision in January to cut global aid programmes, according to three people who previously worked at the U.S. Agency for International Development and two sources from other aid organisations.
Some stocks that are due to expire as early as July are likely to be destroyed, either by incineration, using them as animal feed or disposing of them in other ways, two of the sources said.
The warehouses, which are run by USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), contain between 60,000 to 66,000 metric tonnes of food, sourced from American farmers and manufacturers, the five people said.
Food we’ve already bought and paid for - our tax dollars at work, literally - intentionally being left to rot. I hate all of this so much. They continue actively and aggressively hurting vulnerable people while putting money into the pockets of those with astronomical treasure piles already. Such efficiency. Very awesomeness.
in my area, theres several groups that serves solely to elderly chinese people, basically a food bank, im guessing these are seperate from usaids.
Even Jerry Moran, the limp-dick asshole Kansas senator, went public begging Donald to release it.
Just absolute stupidity, but beneficial for the rich in some way, so they see no reason to change it.
haha, trump does not like beggars, he considers them suckers and losers.
he blew off HUCKABEE sanders when she asked for disaster aid.
I would bet anything that they are trying to reduce the global population, partially because they believe we are overpopulated, partly to kill as many not white people as they can.
pretty much one of the plots of ebenezer scrooge movies, i think its old movie where ebenezer said the world population was overcrowded, it was prudent in his mind it needs to be reduced by denying them any form of charity, when charity/beggars ask him for money.
In their eyes we are overpopulated now that the machines are on the rise. There’s too many humans and not enough roles for us to fill. Humans are expensive to keep
In their eyes, yes. They are deluded idiots that refuse to acknowledge actual science because it hurts their feelings.
I wouldn’t put it past them.
