Hello, fellow consumers,

I've been wanting to bring the Weekly Threads back for some time, we haven't had one in over two years at this point, almost three, and that really felt like the beginning of the end. So, I suppose here they are again, albeit unofficially.

# This Week's Discussion Theme: Consoom USAID

Federal aid to foreign countries has been mostly stopped, and thanks to DOGE we now know where this money has been going. From what I've seen, support for ending USAID has been nearly across the board positive, but let's hear what you have to say, the finer details. Remember to be civil and respectful, this is discussion, not a flame war.

Discussion ideas:

- What are some of the negative consequences cutting USAID money may have? Yes, getting our tax dollars out of the Congo seems smart, but could it backfire?

- What do you think or hope will happen as a result of the money returning back to America? Will it benefit you, will it pay off the elite, will they find another way to funnel cash to Israel?

- What are some things that you suspect USAID funded, that's only obvious now? The porn spam on 4chan has apparently stopped, and a lot of ConPro has up and vanished.

If you want, you can put an idea for next week's discussion in the comments.

I have no idea what USAID is.

Regardless, my expectations remain exceedingly low.

USAID is our foreign aid program, for such necessary things as 400 Burmese college students or diversity training in Afghanistan.

Frankly I'd rather have my tax dollars going there rather than to agencies that serve to fuck me over like the IRS or police.

It says that imgur is "over capacity" and won't load. What was in the image?

The "They're the same picture" meme.
