@RyanLikesCats81 @dylanmatt The point of data is having a history of it, and if the interest was truth finding “new efforts” they could put up a warning banner or give explanation. I simply don’t see the reason to defend, even hypothetically, the government erasing formerly-public data w/o reason given

@Rust_And_Decay @ArmandDoma It sure is good and fun to say things

@RyanLikesCats81 @dylanmatt Also, it’s only some measures (small n) that are bad. Employment, race, housing, insurance questions generally mirror independent sources like CPS, Census. You’re okay throwing it all out because it is possible to dishonestly weight? That’s true of all surveys

@hereforthe61512 @ArmandDoma 20 million current (until a couple days ago) recipients of HIV meds under PEPFAR and that’s just one program (admittedly one of the best, and one of the only times you gotta hand it to Bush)

@RyanLikesCats81 @dylanmatt No I mean like using statistical methods and outside data for validation to get a better idea of what the underlying population looks like. It’s just math man and I’m not Ann Selzer not everything has to be politics

@SpiritualFixed @ArmandDoma Contestant 80361 come on out! Folks, just like the others, he’s barely communicative, drooling, and getting duped the most hit-you-over-the-head-with-it scam on the planet. We love him don’t we! Really makes you feel superior. No, ma’am, don’t feel bad, he’s incredibly wicked!

@hereforthe61512 @ArmandDoma So we agree NGOs have $$ but misallocate it and don’t do the job. But you think also the government shouldn’t do it? So no one does it and people just die? Being genuine

@mattidell @ArmandDoma Yes Alex I’ll take things that are not going to happen for $1 billion

@MattPirkowski @tracewoodgrains So there’s a landmine next to a family and there’s a landmine next to a genderswapped statue of Mario and Luigi. Might as well detonate them both now and post about it because it would take an extra day to move the family

@plhunt @tracewoodgrains All of us have donated to all of these causes that’s what taxes are. If we stop doing it through taxes no one will do it because, as you know, who gives a fuck? So you get to pick fewer deaths or more deaths at the price of like a box of cereal

@tomri33le @tracewoodgrains It’s good when fewer people die of starvation and preventable diseases and it costs you dirt

@Alt_Azn @tracewoodgrains Scum!

@RokoMijic @tracewoodgrains You are a wicked medieval beast unbothered by the ten-cent-preventable deaths of thousands

@animewife4life @tracewoodgrains It’s entirely possible to cut the bullshit, get the debt under control, and not leave countless people out to dry. Why are we pretending that’s not possible? Like yeah it’ll take an extra week but… don’t we want to not kill peopel?

@arthuz__ @RaffiArabian @ZacksJerryRig It is a choice being made to cut both the food aid and the dumb bullshit and everyone’s acting like people complaining about cutting food aid are okay with the bullshit… no! If DOGE is so smart, identify the bullshit don’t freeze baby HIV treatments!!!

RT @ArmandDoma: one of the most frustrating things about DOGE is that there is so much genuine waste in the federal government—bloated defe…

@RaffiArabian @ZacksJerryRig If you are mad at paying 0.001% of your salary for thousands to have clean water you should be drawn and quartered

@Blobster81 @One_Good_Cause1 @littmath @nope_its_lily Maybe the government should do some research into you getting a nut off because lemme tell you buddy the private incentives are woefully insufficient
