SpaceX Gets Billions from the Government, Gives Little to Nothing Back in Taxes

I described the The United States Agency for International Development (USAID). [1] The money allocated to them for "Aid" is not tracked or accounted for, one of the reasons it was defunded. The previously linked video explains this in more depth although the official reason was due to being woke. The money sent to other countries is just used to bribe officials.

Adding to this the current generation of online manipulators are awful. The boomers at least used some advanced psychological techniques. The current generations at best use gaslighting and weak astroturfing. No better than CNN or FOX "News". I expect better manipulation for the tax revenue I contribute.

The money allocated to USAID is more accounted for than other departments of the US Government. Probably DoD.

Trump cancelled funding to USAID PREDICT, and then they were understaffed and then the COVID hoax occurred and I think we'd prefer to just hide that under the rug.

FWICS trans-better-than-gay Trump couldn't handle the gay director of USAID.

USAID was providing humanitarian aid to Gaza while Kushner-Trump-Likud was providing military aid to support the killing without due process in other peoples' lands. It looks like they resolved paying for both lawless killing and aid by cancelling the aid program to graft themselves to more debt and a lower approval rating.

Which international currencies are up since January, along with defense ETFs?
