Okay, so why is a musical in Ireland getting American tax dollars, regardless of it being DEI or not. Ireland is not broke, they can fund that stuff themselves.
Called building goodwill. Influence over power

Did anyone actually know that the US govt was funding the musical? Were they credited? Because it just sounds like they were pissing away taxpayer money.

If things were shutdown completely because they don’t make sense to everyone Conservative@lemm.ee would not be a thing.

DOGE is the best thing this Trump administration has to offer. Milei started it and hopefully it will spread like wildfire. Burn down the bureaucrats that leech of society all around the world. Can’t wait until this reaches the EU.

Exactly! Why would we stoop to helping anyone anywhere with anything when that money could be safely parked in an oligarch’s account!?!? (overseas, out of sight, of course)

I see you didn’t actually watch the video.

Yes, it’s all culture war slop. “Elon Musk is the best!”
I’d much rather thousands of dollars of my taxes go overseas to provide art & culture, then billions going overseas as bombs dropped on Palestinian children. But that’s just me. I’ll always prioritize culture over murder.
They’re slashing USAID and feeding us the BS that these tax dollars are “better spent on Americans”, but they won’t be spent on the working class. Ever. They’ll go to defense contractors or Trump’s buddies. I watched the video, and I want my 2 minutes back.
