RIP the Gaza aid pier. It didn't last long, it didn't accomplish anything, and it was always just a PR stunt to pull attention away from the government's support of a genocide, but at least it cost more money than the federal government spends on addiction treatment programs

I was wrong. I thought it was placed and built to give US a foothold in trade or something, but it was just an optics money burn.

This "aid pier" was constructed cynically, simply for the sheer optics. Such bullpucky.

If thereโs one thing the Biden administration is great at, itโs finding a way to piss off everyone while simultaneously accomplishing absolutely nothing. We did it Joe!

Fogbow is made up of retired US Marine, US Navy, and US State Department muckety mucks, and a guy from Wulff Creek Advisors - a 'boutique investment advisory firm' and Autumn Road Capital - 'Venture Capital and Private Equity'. How much less would this have cost if the money wan't being laundered?

Why don't they deliver the aid in the same way they deliver the weapons? Those logistics seem pretty sound.

Big reasons for defense spending: 1) giving money to defense contractors, & - to a lesser extent - to defense contractor workers 2) ensuring that money *doesn't* go to meaningfully helping the poor 3) These two add up to empowering the caste system - allocating wealth & power to groups for effect
