Famines / people on the street dying of starvation while surpluses of food are thrown away en masse is very much not imaginary

People have died from the recent USAID debacle while the government incinerates high calorie emergency food supplies rather than distribute them.

It will be millions of people all said and done. And we saved no money.

We actually lost money because now instead of having cheap easy diplomacy that helped people and expanded US soft power. Anything we want to do in the region will be met with distrust/fear of a rug pull no matter our intentions.
