AP: Trans Aid Workers in Nepal Turn to Sex Work After USAID Cuts Cost Them Their Jobs

We've been hearing a resurgence in stories about the global body count ever since Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire. Musk oversaw DOGE, which recommended dismantling the Democratic slush fund known as USAID. Since then, we've heard stories about women dying in Africa because their government apparently couldn't afford diesel fuel for the ambulance without relying on the U.S. taxpayer. Musk even threatened to sue Rep. Ro Khanna, who cited a bogus Lancet study to claim that Musk was responsible for the deaths of 4.5 million children.

The Associated Press reports that, thanks to USAID being dismantled, around 100 LGBTQ+ aid workers in impoverished Nepal have few job options other than turning to prostitution. Grab a tissue before hitting play on this video, in which a former aid worker says that USAID used to pay for condoms and lubricant.

Where are the European pocketbooks, and why aren’t they opening? China? Russia? Buehler?

And by the way, Honeybuns, lubes and rubbers were never “free”, they were just paid for by U.S. taxpayers — free to you is not free to me.
