!nooticers 6 million
GENEVA, Feb 7 (Reuters) - More than six million people could die from HIV and AIDS in the next four years if U.S. President Donald Trump's administration pulls its global funding for programmes, the United Nations AIDS agency said on Friday.
Although a waiver was placed on HIV/AIDS programmes in last month's U.S. foreign aid funding freeze, many concerns remained about the future of treatment programmes, the deputy executive director of UNAIDS told reporters in Geneva.
"There is a lot of confusion especially on the community level, how the waiver will be implemented. We're seeing a lot of disruption of delivery of treatment services", Christine Stegling said.
Trump put hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of foreign aid donations on hold for 90 days upon taking office on January 20. In the following days, the U.S. State Department issued a waiver on the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) - the world's leading HIV initiative - for life-saving humanitarian assistance.
While welcoming the waiver, Stegling stressed the situation remains chaotic.
Amid a broader decline of funding, Stegling warned there would be a 400% increase in AIDS deaths if PEPFAR financial support is not re-authorized between 2025 and 2029.
"That's 6.3 million people, 6.3 million AIDS-related deaths that will occur in future...Any penny, any cut, any pause, will matter for all of us" she said, urging U.N. member states to step in.
"In Ethiopia, we have 5,000 public health worker contracts that are funded by U.S. assistance. And all of these have been terminated," Stegling said.
She highlighted that community clinics were facing the biggest interruption as they are "entirely dependent" on U.S. government funding.
She expressed concern that some people may not come forward for treatment, which could in turn increase new HIV infections.
U.S. donations account for the majority of global funding for the U.N. programme that operates in 70 countries, leading global efforts to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.
Trump's administration says it is reviewing all foreign-aid programmes to see if they align with his "America First" policy.

Almost all comments have already been deleted so I couldn't entirely figure out what is going on, but it seems the CEOs main Nazi behaviours are:
1. Refuses to stop using Xtter and Facebook
2. On his Xtter there are some statements to the effect that women in games should be attractive
3. He has changed character creation labels from Body Type A/B to Male/Female

When will the wholesome sexual healthcare subs be restored? Or was this intentional? Qualifications for an overturn are either:
an explicit statement from admin saying it was a bug/oversight and will be/is being corrected, OR
any of the following subs being unbanned (selected at random from a post I saw): /r/rule34, /r/overwatchporn (or /r/overwatch_porn idk), /r/legalteens
No this is permanent (wins if still nothing in 3 days OR an official statement indicating permanence) - 18 bets
Within 1 hour - 2 bets - WINNER!
1-3 hours - 11 bets
3-8 hours - 21 bets
8-24 hours - 8 bets
24-48 hours - 3 bets
48-72 hours - 1 bets
All times are relative to the timestamp of this thread.

So I fricked up and booked my hotel for the same Friday in May instead of tonight. I still got a room, but it's going to be $800/night instead of $350/night like I'd planned. That really sucks.

Favorite so far:
This is not a cost saving measure. This is a purge of federal employees who do not support their agenda. The first round is incentivized volunteer resignations. The second round will be forced resignations. The third round will be outright firings. This is a comprehensive takeover of the federal government by the MAGA organization. This is round one of a pervasive attack on the American Republic.
They are following the NAZI playbook from the 1930's.
The OLIGARCHY
They are looking for cuts to pass trumps tax plan. Which will greatly enrich the rich and cripple the poor, weaken or eliminate the middle class.
What is it you think he is doing? Where do you think the money stolen from us will go? It's tax money, all our money going to the rich, 2'trillion at least. The deficitโฆtrump blew it up round 1. Round 2 he will kill the deficit. And YOU and EVERYONE you know will pay for it for the rest of our lives.
Some reasonable people too, maybe redditoids aren't beyond saving:
I appreciate you being open to the conversation. The challenge lies in your last sentence where you state "Convince me that cutting wasteful spending is a bad idea." You're already convinced that all of this spending is wasteful. We are not.
We see value in the DOE as a vehicle to assist in equalizing access to education for all. Without this funding, kids in poor areas will not have access to the resources they need to be successful in school. In the most impoverished places, property tax is not adequate - many are renting, in section 8, or perhaps homeless and the property tax collected does not scale with the student population in those environments. Do you believe that all kids, regardless of the socioeconomic class they are born into, deserve a shot at education? We do. But the states alone are not able to provide that, particularly red states who are the biggest beneficiaries of this funding.

Note: I posted this in a different sub but wanted to share here too. I'm just so angry
As a Black woman, the entitlement of white families and the shit they get away with both amazes me-and enrages me.
I'm away on a business trip-kind of my first. They are paying for my hotel room and everything. It's pretty awesome. The hotel I'm at has a swim pool so I decided to bring my bathing suit and go for an evening swim after my conference.
I figured I'd wait till about an hour before pool closing so it'd be less busy. Clearly, everyone had the same idea as me. Fine, whatever. There were 3 parties of us there-myself, solo, a filipino family (maybe 5-6 of them children included) and a big group of white families together for what I assume to be a hockey tournament (I saw them checking in with their sticks and hockey bags in tow).
The white adults were absolutely plastered. They had several coolers in the pool (not allowed) boxes of pizza (also not allowed). The adults were all drinking beers poolside (again, NOT allowed). Meanwhile, their kids are causing an absolute disturbance. Prior, their sons were playing FRICKING FLOOR HOCKEY in the hotel HALLWAY. I could hear them before I left and I saw them on during my time in the pool (they were coming in and out) and on my way back to my room.
At one point, one of the moms is so shitfaced she drops her glass and it shatters. she then starts scraping the glass into the pool where myself and the Filipino families kids were swimming. One of the moms goes "no no dont do that just leave it"
I decide I'm done with the main pool and head over to the hot tub where more of the Filipino family are hanging out. As we're relaxing, one of the front desk staff comes in with one of the boys. The boy goes "guys guys listen-the front desk says we need to quiet down we're being too loud" to which the moms respond "we're being too LOUD?! Tell them to shut the front door!" (Which makes zero sense because the pool door WAS shut-it requires key card entry). They were just that fricking loud.
Just the absolute gall and entitlement of the parents to think they should be allowed to disrupt everyone else was appalling. I lean over to someone in the hot tub and go "have they been acting like that all night?" "Yup, since we got here!" And then we started talking about how rude they were, the disrespect to public space, the glass in the pool, etc. Suddenly all the boys decide theyre down playing hotel hallway hockey and come into the pool. There's a huge sign that says "no diving-shallow pool". So naturally, they all start doing cannonballs. The splashes were so big they were hitting me and the family in the hottub. The parents continued to sit back shitfaced and pleased with themselves.
I'd had enough so I left and went to complain to front staff. I let him know that the family was drunk off their asses, not controlling their kids, the boys playing hockey in the hall, the broken glass, the pizza, the way the mom disrespected the first staff member to go in, all of it. He was very apologetic to which I said it's not his fault and the family would likely retaliate again (all the front desk staff were POC) and he said he'd handle it and escalate to management. I went off to my room.
Some of you are gonna say this is just a shitty parent thing-and it is. However, whiteness does come into play. Watch a Black person act up and see how we're shamed, dragged across the internet, everything. Watch a Black person follow the rules and still get shit. I'm thinking of those stories of Black people getting kicked out of pools in their own apartment complexes cause racists POS didn't think they live or "belong" there.
White people are just allowed to be shameless. The reason that mom was so bold talking back to the staff is cause she felt entitled and knew she held a position of power. She is the white woman, and is offended by the POC staff member politely telling her to get a hold of herself. The staff dare tell them how to behave??? They know at the end of the day they will get a free pass. I want to make sure to include the dads in this too cause they were shit too. I mention the mom cause my time there she was the one mouthing back. The dads were all standing around drunk and smug.
And this is how kids, especially white kids, turn into entitled adults. Mommy and daddy never say no. Of course theyd be allowed to play floor hockey in the middle of a hotel hallway and disrupt other patrons! Of course theyre allowed to break pool rules! Why shouldn't they? They're watching their parents do the exact same shit!
I'm not saying BIPOC should get a free pass to be unruly shits btw, or that we never act up. I'm angry at how different the repercussions are and how white folk are simply allowed to do whatever they please and train their kids to be the same because society has put them so far up on a pedestal.
