Dude you could just google condoms for Gaza to find out for yourself but the short version is they misunderstood or misrepresented a larger effort over a period of years where they sent contraceptives, condoms and other items used to control the spread of disease to multiple countries, including a region in Mozambique called Gaza, lol.
This is directly from that link:
For you as well:
@MTTiger19 You seem to have commented to others but jumped past mine. Can you please let me know the relevancy for asking what the jobs were?
I think you are misunderstanding that American taxpayers have no obligation to provide condoms to anyone anywhere. That’s not a government problem. That’s a social issue.
Yes my apologies. I have heard this similar argument recently about Indian names within some professions. I am not saying that is happening. I have no idea. I just think it’s something that as long as humans are reading resumes there’s going to be inherent bias regardless.
Yes, while the link isn’t working, I don’t doubt we’ve done that. It’s PEPFAR. It’s prevented probably millions of deaths from HIV/AIDS. It’s one of the best things we’ve ever done as a nation and one of the best things (only good things rather) that Bush ever did as president. It is very different than “sending $59m for condoms to Gaza”
No, it doesn’t, he just doesn’t know what he’s talking about or why the US, across multiple administrations, spends money on this stuff. These idiots are just ripping out wires, hoping to turn the clock back to the 50s, not realizing the damage they’re doing to world safety or America’s place in the world
No sir. It says that was inaccurate, I think the larger point I’m trying to make is 50 million to Gaza or 68 million to Africa is irrelevant. It’s taxpayer money. I think that’s inappropriate.
Essentially what it was saying is that the money claimed to be spent in Gaza was not spent on contraception but on medical assistance. It goes on to say that the 68 million was sent to Africa and other parts of the world for condoms and contraception.
What always gets me is instead of saying they misunderstood but that they still think we are spending frivolous money and congress needs to do something, people will still try to twist some way that Trump was right.
I stand by saying 68 million dollars for condoms in the third world is frivolous when they’re are Americans dying on our streets.
This was all public in the budget that was signed off by Congress.
No, I’m on welfare and make $150k a year scamming the government. I spend food stamps on T-Bone steaks and filet mignon and lobster every night
We can spend money on both things. And I’ve always found that conservatives only care about the homeless as a rhetorical device and when it’s time to pass funding for them they love to slash funding
War criminal, yes. Won’t get any complaints from me there. Traitor? Interesting to see how you make that point
International Medical Corps has received $68,078,508 from USAID to support our operations in Gaza since October 7, 2023. With the generous support of USAID and the American people, we’ve used these resources to operate two large field hospitals currently located in central Gaza—one in Deir Al Balah and one in Al Zawaida—offering a combined total capacity of more than 250 beds, including 20 in the emergency room and 170 in the surgical department. These facilities provide 24/7 lifesaving medical care to roughly 33,000 civilians per month, in a highly dangerous and insecure environment where healthcare infrastructure has been decimated.
I’m sorry. I’m not following. How’s that related to this?
I was being sarcastic, my household combined for over $200k in income and I have two mortgages because I own two properties
Ok thanks, that link actually works. Shows that the Middle East region received less than $60k with 89% of money going to Africa, aka that’s PEPFAR
I’m not going to post my bank statements here but I’ll swear whatever oath you want me to on this one
So you mistyped the amount previously? You said 68mm for condoms at the link provided. I open the link provided that has the exact amount you provided, but not for the reason you provided.
Dude, we have a very vested interest in making sure that we reduce the spread of disease because anything that causes disease there will soon spread here unless we can stop it in it's tracks and it's always preferable to stop it there. We slowed the spread of Ebola by doing the same.
It was 60.8. I got confused. I understand how I confused you. That was my mistake.
