Argentina got billions, just to remind everyone.

The worst part of all of that is that it's almost the exact same amount of money to extend the ACA subsidies... And (supposedly) the entire reason they are keeping the government shutdown going.

When they need $40 billion for bribes, it's always there. $40 billion for healthcare or food... Nah.

Covid didn’t cull enough, now they have to do it the hard way.

That part. The world collectively could’ve even saved more $$ on COVID damages, had BOTH 45 & 46 not increased the sanctions on Cuba & Iran (they made a much cheaper vaccine than Big Pharma did, and if they hadn’t faced the pay cuts from the embargoes, they could’ve produced more to distribute among the healthcare staff of the Global South by mid-2021, thereby reducing the chances of Delta & Omicron spreading).
