There are lots of privately funded museums. Museums are not going to disappear. “International development” is mostly rich failsons with politically connected parents getting funneled taxpayer money via NGOs and/or a front for the CIA. Good riddance.

"Don't worry, you've got six months of emergency fund and jobs come and go" and "good riddance I'm glad their careers are destroyed those lazy leeches" don't feel like they should be placed so close together. I personally believe that making mobile games is less valuable to the world than handing out TB meds, but that's just me.

  Then you are free to spend your own money to hand out TB meds instead of buying mobile games. That’s your prerogative.

    I have indeed started giving large amounts of money towards TB aid since Trump gutted things.

I don’t think Foreign Policy is considered some crackpot conspiracy theory rag. USAID was run by the State department, which is known to provide cover for the CIA (every embassy has CIA officers working out of it). This is not a “conspiracy theory”. The CIA does exist and they do spy on other countries. What do you think the CIA does? Do you think they go to other countries and open an office with a big sign saying “Hello, this is the CIA”?
