I think the sycophants cheering these moves on are so interesting. I have absolutely no sense that any of these changes are going to have meaningful positive impacts in my life. "We all benefit" in what sense? Aesthetically? What does USAID have to do with me? What positive impact will I see from banning the X gender marker? How do undocumented migrants affect my life negatively?
it's so easy to be cynical, how do you do it?
I have health issues that I can't get help with because of my insurance, my rent increased significantly last month, and my grocery bills have never been higher. I have real life problems to deal with. The X gender marker does not even register as a problem in my universe. Our government seems to be more concerned with policing 0.5% of the population than with dealing with real life problems. Perhaps that's why?
Of many folks I know I’m perhaps the least bothered/most open to what they are trying to do in spirit but can you share more about this impact? To date it seems like the amounts we are talking about are small in relative numbers and fraud has a pretty specific meaning which doesn’t apply to anything I’m aware of.
Can you link me to this fraud you are referencing? I haven’t seen any reports of that.
That’s true, all those people who now can’t get lifesaving HIV medication for themselves and their babies sure did benefit from this. Ditto the charities that relied on grants to provide basic health care, food, etc, and now have to close. Bravo!
Are we allowed to be sarcastic in these times?
I think sarcasm is a valuable tool, but my post was downvoted so I guess not!
