trump Is About to Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food

At times in my life, I have been very poor, and hungry. I tried to eat expired food, and got very sick. I am still fighting the after effects of the food poisoning, fourteen years later. Sometimes, what expired food will do to your body, particularly bottled water in recycled plastic bottles, due to BPAs, can slowly kill you, two to three years after you consumed the bad water. The same can be said of things like four, rice, and beans, that have been stored in plastic containers in hot conditions.

If the food is expired, it cannot be consumed by people. You might be able to feed it to pigs. You don't want to leave it just sitting in a warehouse, because somebody will take it, and attempt to eat, and get sick...

And then there is the other half of the problem, "If you give a man a fish, he eats for a day, if you teach a man to fish, he and his family can eat for eternity."

No, the problem is Trump and his administration eliminated the means by which food could be distributed by closing down USAID.

Things expire when you can't distribute them.

It expired. Which means time passed before it could be DISTRIBUTED. But in the MEANTIME Trump destroyed the ability to distribute it.

ERGO: YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM WHAT YOU VOTED FOR.

Who's running? Biden bought it, why didn't he distribute it?
 
Why do so MANY Trumpers run away from what Trump has done? Do they think people will just let them ignore the shitstorm this has caused?

You wanted CONCENTRATION CAMPS now we got 'em.
You wanted starving brown kids, well know we have entire countries of 'em.
You wanted poor people fucked in the face? Good job! It's done!
You wanted education decimated and turned back into an 19th century mess? Good job, mission accomplished.


You wanted these things so you voted FOR THEM.

NOW MAKE SURE TO KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN. YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN AWAY FROM WHAT YOU WANTED.

Then why are they starving now?

Face it: you know what you voted for and you know how REPULSIVE it is. So you want to blame everyone else for the horrorshow YOU WANTED. Well, you got it, now you have to keep your eyes open and watch it unfurl.

ENJOY! You wanted this.

It's why you are JUSTIFYING IT NOW.

After 63 years why are there still children starving? That's why it was time for change...very much needed change...
You're not thinking rationally...No one voted for anyone to starve or for anyone to die...
But if screaming at strangers helps, you go right ahead...I don't take it personally...
 
This bears repeating.

The Trump administration’s decision to incinerate 500 tons of emergency food stems from the dismantling of USAID and broader cuts to foreign aid programs. The food, primarily high-energy biscuits meant for malnourished children in Afghanistan and Pakistan, was purchased for ~$800,000 near the end of the Biden administration but never distributed due to logistical failures following USAID’s closure. The biscuits, stored in Dubai, are set to expire, and incineration was ordered at an additional cost of $130,000, reportedly due to the administration’s halt on foreign aid distribution, exacerbated by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cuts that eliminated staff and infrastructure needed to move the food. Some sources suggest the decision reflects a policy shift prioritizing domestic concerns or avoiding aid to countries like Afghanistan and Yemen, where the State Department cited risks of aiding terrorists, though no such justification was given for Pakistan. Critics argue the food could have been redirected to other famine-stricken areas like Sudan or even U.S. food banks, but bureaucratic inaction and lack of approval from new USAID leadership led to the waste. The scale of this destruction—enough to feed 1.5 million children for a week—is described as unprecedented by aid workers.

So now more kids are starving and that's the change you wanted. Got it. Hope it all works out for you.

Yet they wound up doing EXACTLY THAT. ANd then they spend their days DEFENDING that choice.

Screaming at fucking assholes who drool over seeing children starve and people die so a couple billionaires can get a penny or two DOES make me feel better.

I hope it makes you feel worse.

But then it does not appear that you have a moral compass or anything.
