The “1 life every 10 seconds” claim is fallacious. Musk is (inadvertently) correct. The money Kristof cites goes to gatekeepers, not relief workers. And the net impact of the so-called aid, particularly in Palestine, Jordan, Ethiopia, and Nigeria, are higher mortality rates caused by these foreign policy initiatives.
Just straight up, handing out aid money to Israel Settlers does not reduce the death toll in the West Bank. Just the opposite. Subsidizing food exports from El Salvador so Walmart can buy cheaper groceries wholesale does not reduce famine inside the country.
You are being lied to with these statistics. You are being lied to by the NYT.
I’m being lied to by you and a callous trillionaire you’re carrying water for. You want me to defend something and argue with you. I’m not taking the bait. Go back to Xitter
Who said that bro? classic tactic of bad faith reactionaries everywhere: Seize on minor discrepancies, make process complaints and attack the messenger rather than assessing the core claims on the merits.
NYT does not make decisions of war. Don’t be silly. You’re blaming messengers and cherry picking data to prove points you already believe. It’s not convincing

If you put your trust in the NYT, I’ve got some Yellow Cake Uranium to sell you.

Hardly the first instance of the NYT lying the country into a war. They’ve been pulling this shit since the sinking of the USS Maine.
How many millions of people has this paper killed with its lies?

Real “Goebels did nothing wrong” energy.
I wonder if this was Russian Facebook ads during the 2016 election, whether you’d have a different take.
