You Gotta Be Shitting Me
So I read this article and I gotta say even for D.C. this is next level dumbassery. Three U.S. aid workers boots on the ground in Myanmar trying to help after a freaking earthquake and they get pink slipped? Mid rescue? It's like firing your closer in the ninth when you're up by one. You just don't do it. What's the play here? Save a few bucks while looking like a complete jackass to the rest of the world? Someone needs to explain this one to me because I am missing something.
Elon Musk Efficiency Czar?
Apparently Elon Musk's 'Department of Government Efficiency' is behind this. Look I respect the guy's hustle but slashing USAID during a disaster? That's not efficiency; that's just being a cheapskate with a Tesla. Newsflash: Sometimes you gotta spend money to make money or in this case to not look like a heartless empire. This ain't about disruption; this is about dysfunction. You can't 'optimize' empathy genius.
Sleeping on the Streets Courtesy of Uncle Sam
These aid workers are sleeping on the streets because of aftershocks and now they're getting canned? It's like being forced to eat a vegan burger after you've been starving for days. It is inhumane. I understand the need for fiscal responsibility but there's a difference between being shrewd and being straight up cruel. Axe Capital would never pull a stunt like this. We'd buy the whole damn country and fix it ourselves.
Rubio's Realpolitik
And then you got Marco Rubio saying Myanmar's 'not the easiest place to work' because the junta doesn't like us. No shit Sherlock! That's why you send in aid! To win hearts and minds not to whine about the bureaucracy. It's not about being easy; it's about doing what's right. Or at least what makes us look good. This isn't rocket science folks.
China Russia and the Art of the Deal
While we're busy nickel and diming disaster relief China Russia and India are stepping up. They're buying influence building relationships and basically making us look like chumps on the world stage. You know what I call that? A missed opportunity. It's like passing up a sure thing because you're too busy counting pennies. Amateur hour.
Axe's Solution: More Money Less Bullshit
Here's how I'd handle it: Triple the aid fire the bureaucrats who signed off on this nonsense and send a clear message: America helps even when it's inconvenient. We're not just about making deals; we're about keeping our word. And right now our word is looking pretty damn cheap. Time to step up or we're going to be eating humble pie – and nobody wants that especially not me. Remember what I always say: 'What's the point of having fuck you money if you can't say fuck you?' Well right now I'm saying fuck you to this whole situation.

Sleeping on the streets? Unacceptable. This is America, dammit!

Axe, you should run for president. You'd fix this mess in a heartbeat.

America first means leaving people to die? I don't think so.

This is why I trust billionaires more than politicians.
