I'm perfectly aware that the government can be inefficient. But there's a huge difference between "let's make the government work more efficiently" and "let's destroy everything, no matter the human, strategic, or even monetary cost". Even if you think that shutting down USAID is legally and morally justifiable, I don't see how you can possibly justify shutting it down without any notice or plan for the people who are affected. Go and read the declarations in the AFSA v. Trump case. How do you justify things like interrupting the treatment course of tuberculosis for patients, which promotes resistance to the drugs. They are acting incredibly irresponsibly. It really speaks volumes about the Silicon Valley way of doing things - move fast and just ignore all consequences to real people. I've seen it in startups before. It makes me incredibly depressed about working in tech.

And Europe funds foreign aid at a much higher percentage of GDP than we do.
