He began laying off and furloughing dozens of his staff as he calculated that about 90 percent of his revenue was about to disappear. Once he is done, all but about a dozen of his nearly 100 U.S.-based employees will have been impacted, he said. "The last 10 days have been the worst 10 days of my professional life," said Schmida. The funding for some of his projects were granted during the first Trump administration.

Reuters sheds some tears.

I love it.
Hours after coming into office on Jan. 20, Trump ordered a sweeping review of almost all U.S. foreign aid and tasked billionaire Elon Musk, who has falsely accused USAID of being a "criminal" organization, with scaling down the agency.
And just how, in a matter of two weeks, has the crack team of Rooters reporters made that determination of falsehood?
I guess they still think this crap works.

The “aid industry” is a scam run by virtue-signaling criminals. And since when is charity an industry?

“Steve Schmida, co-founder of Vermont-based Resonance, a USAID contractor for many years working in areas such as innovation, fisheries conservation and trade and investment”
Their website looks like a money laundering operation, a bunch of gobblely gook nonsense.

The AID contractors and their subcontractors need full body cavity search audits.

billionaire Elon Musk, who has falsely accused USAID of being a "criminal" organization, Falsely? Really? I hate the bias from leftist terrorist reporters and news organizations. False news. USAID is a criminal front for funding international groups that don’t reflect our views and desires. Musk is right to accuse USAID of being a criminal front.

The louder that Reuters barks, the more you can be sure Musk and crew are right over the proper target.
