    Trump’s shuttering of USAid has a murder rate of 88 people per hour.

    Of the 600,000 people who’ve died, 400,000 are children. These are mostly food aid deaths, we still haven’t seen the consequences of disease control ending (HIV, TB, Malaria, and others.)

    They’re estimating 22 million death total by 2030. So this disaster is unfolding and accelerating.

      The fact that I can’t load the replies you got tells me that the evil chuds I’ve already blocked previously are out in force on this post. Some people delight in the idea of yanking help from people who aren’t white, male gamers. Whatever they’re saying, block 'em and don’t get discouraged. Lemmy is just as bad as some of the worst reddit communities the way literal children try to get attention with poorly-educated hot takes.

        I’ve realised the supreme power of blocking out the clown sounds. It’s so liberating. Literally chatting with tiny thinkers just ends up making me angry all day. Now it’s a different story, one with conversations and considered viewpoints.

      This isn’t 600,000 recorded deaths to date, its an estimate based on the reduction in budget. Reducing the budget reduces maximum capability, which means its estimated that 600,000 people would have died by now.

        The 600,000 estimate is how many actual recorded deaths THIS YEAR can be attributed to reduction in USAID.

        So more than 600,000 people have died, only 600,000 can be blamed on MAGA.

        The other estimates are forecasts, but the 600,000 number is to date. Says so in both the headline and the article.
