You have to understand that Boston University is not a real school. Even the article says “ She readily recognises the shortcomings of her modelling. The numbers are not recorded deaths, but rather predictions. “They’re modelled numbers and I recognise the limitations that that comes with,” she said. “We don’t have routine data sets that we can measure someone as ‘killed by the US lack of funding’.”. Doge Cuts are necessary so the USA doesnt default on it’s debt

This is more or less delusional.

The US won't default on any debt (worst case, money printer go brrrr).

The cuts so far amount to fuckall, even across many years.

And then the proposed budgets increases deficits far beyond any savings Doge actually managed to find (if their cuts were even actually more effective than the inspectors general that were terminated).

Doge was a bad idea done poorly. It served no purpose other than to hurt people and win some headlines. We will be feeling the consequences for years to come.

Because their friends and family are part of the NGO complex. Usually the directors and board members. I know this from personal experience and knowledge. If they did not know each other from college or growing up, the NGO associated people seek out journalists for that kind of reason and journalists are often flattered by the attention, aka lobbying, and drawn in. It’s a really corrupted system that only further enc…
