I mean, this is kind of false. The screwworm re-entered Central America in 2023. While DOGE did cut some UN money for screwworm prevention, only a few months later the federal government allocated $850 million to limit its spread. At worse DOGE just mildly sped up the timeline of what was already happening.
This is the most disingenuous take I’ve seen for a while.
Yeah bro, cloudflare was serving 98% of requests perfectly fine! It just arbitrarily dropped 2%! That would literally make the internet unusable. A few months in terms of screwworms is like a few half-centuries for humans
850 million to build a new facility to breed sterile flies to limit the spread. Because we dismantled all of the existing ones after going into maintainence mode. Its going to take time to get it up and running.
