I’d even, gasp, go so far as to say I’d happily give it away to citizens and illegal immigrants alike. Oh hell, everyone on the planet. No strings attached.
This is where my taxes should go. I can’t stand the rhetoric that it’s bad tax payers are footing the bill for those without insurance and those here illegally. That’s what a society is supposed to do.
Which was also an payout to big pharma. And we illegally used those programs to sneak in spies. While we’re blocking Cuba from distributing cancer vaccines and covid vaccines.
There have been plenty of people involved in those programs talking about them online since they were repealed and that they aren’t motivated at the politcal level by altruism and that they have done an incredible amount of good in the world are both true statements.
There’s a growing number of countries that refuse to allow aid orgs in, due to the continued illegal use of them to smuggle in intelligence officers. Not what I would call “insanely grateful.”
Surviving; paying attention; ensuring your family’s security and hopefully that of your community are all in no way mutually exclusive. Kooky deflective narrative.
Imagine giving Palestinians insulin instead of bombs? Instead we give them both and wonder why they get mad about the free bombs without looking at the free insulin. I mean how ungrateful are they? Can they not say thank you?!

Are you going to be grateful someone came to your home to give you medicine, if they use it to sneak in someone who will burn down your home?
What a terminally online hypothetical. IRL, people are insanely grateful to get free medicine and crushed that it’s gone.

You’re not following the thread. Comment above is defending the US practice of sneaking in spies with aid org fronts.
