    The Kremlin applauds the decimation: "It is a machine for interfering in internal affairs, it is a mechanism for changing regimes, political order, state structure." https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/02/06/russia-welcomes-usaid-cuts-calls-agency-machine-for-interfering-a87895 I had some dealings with USAID back in the late ‘90s on its 500 million USD project to rehabilitate Samotlor oilfield in Western Siberia. Halliburton Services in Houston and Tyumen Oil Company (TNG) were USAID’s executing agents on the project. It must have been very profitable for the executives in both companies, since either one made sure none of the subcontractors could make any money. Not even certain whether Samotlor’s falling production was ever corrected. Sure was a lot of money though thrown around. Russian side loved the cash flowing into their pockets.

    A lot of those guys are farmers, but some are ranchers. Some of the them are very good at wildlife management, since that constitutes a significant part of their income. May they find jobs and prosper. I wonder about some of the towns out on the Great Plains that have given away or subsidized the sale of homes, trying to draw in new blood. I wonder if there are any ag jobs out there?

    The first bullet point is odd as hell, and still poses the number one problem most female athletes had with all of this. Men in women’s spaces.
