Musk’s AI Grok calculates that Elon's DOGE cuts will kill at least 3.88 million people worldwide and 520,000 USians. #3E
Grok calculates that Elon's DOGE CUTS will KILL 3.88 Million people worldwide and 520,000 Americans. ーー DOGE claims they have cut $130 billion, this is less than the $170 billion in unpaid taxes that millionaires/billionaires evade EACH YEAR. Biden reinstated the Non-Filer Program to collect these evaded taxes but Trump immediately shut it down. There have been 25K millionaire/billionaire non-filers since 2017. The rich could save 4M lives if they just paid their taxes. Estimated Maximum Deaths Linked to DOGE Funding Cuts 1. Veterans Services: DOGE Cut: Reduced VA staff by tens of thousands, cut Veterans Crisis Line funding Impact: 2,000 (2025); 10,000 (decade) from suicides/health decline 2. AIDS Relief (Global): DOGE Cut: Slashed 90% of USAID contracts, targeting $4 billion in PEPFAR funds Impact: 200,000 (2025); 3 million (decade) from untreated HIV 3. Food Assistance: DOGE Cut: Eliminated $1 billion from USDA (TEFAP/LFPA), $4 billion from USAID food aid Impact: 11,000 (2025); 20,000 (decade) from starvation/malnutrition 4. Healthcare (Global): DOGE Cut: Axed $8.5 billion in USAID health programs (vaccines, maternal care) Impact: 15,000 (2025); 100,000 (decade) from disease/loss of care 5. Healthcare (U.S.): DOGE Cut: Cut 20,000 HHS jobs, $11 billion from state/local health budgets Impact: 5,000 (2025); 25,000 (decade) from reduced services 6. Environmental Protections: DOGE Cut: Slashed thousands of EPA jobs, rolled back regulations Impact: 1,000 (2025); 10,000 (decade) from pollution deaths 7. Homelessness Assistance: DOGE Cut: Reduced VA housing aid, impacted HUD-VASH for 35,000+ veterans Impact: 1,800 (2025); 18,000 (decade) from homelessness deaths 8. Pandemic Prevention: DOGE Cut: Cut $500 million USAID, $1 billion NIH/CDC pathogen research Impact: 15,000 (2025); 200,000 (decade) from outbreaks 9. Mental Health/Substance Abuse: DOGE Cut: Eliminated $300 million SAMHSA grants Impact: 7,000 (2025); 70,000 (decade) from overdoses/suicides 10. Cancer Research: DOGE Cut: Terminated S600 million NIH cancer grants Impact: 1,000 (2025); 15,000 (decade) from delayed treatments 11. Violence Prevention: DOGE Cut: Froze $50 million DOJ/DHS violence prevention grants Impact: 1,500 (2025); 15,000 (decade) from shootings/terrorism 12. Aviation Safety: DOGE Cut: Cut $200 million FAA budget, 1,000+ jobs Impact: 200 (2025); 2,000 (decade) from crashes 13. Social Security Access: DOGE Cut: Slashed $500 million SSA admin, ended phone services…

Putin could not be happier right now.

His puppet is doing exactly what he wants.

Every day we take a step closer to Gilead.

What once seemed so far fetched, now seems highly plausible.

I’ve decided I’m going to re-watch The West Wing again from the start, pretending it’s a new Netflix documentary showing real-time real-life news.

Who’s with me?

physics of climate impacts 101:
- Stuff gets hot (worse heatwaves)
- Hot air holds more water vapor (heavier rainfall)
- Hot air is thirstier air (higher drought risk)
- Warm water is hurricane food (stronger storms)
- Hot water expands and hot ice melts (sea level rise)

Great to see some improvement on this area, but the gap is still far far too wide!

Since the mid-2000s the employment rate of single mothers has risen from 52 to 66% & the fraction of mothers living with a partner who are doing paid work has risen from 69 to 77%
This increase in parental employment has changed the labour market profile of parents in poverty https://buff.ly/4iZATds

Christmas book collection 🎄📚

Two of these were on the reading list of my recent course, looking forward to absorbing them fully at a slower pace.

Have you read any of them?
Santa bring you any good reads? 🎅🏻

Working on my final assignment coursework. My cat doesn’t seem too impressed so far. (She’s probably got a point)
