    Wow. I woke up this morning!

    Feeling so much better!

    I can see why now!

    Stupid signed us out of the WHO.

    It’s all the diseases inside me just partying like crazy. I hope that lasts.

    “World Health ripped us off, everybody rips off the United States. It’s not going to happen anymore," Trump said

    Everybody rips us off, so I’m going to make sure that only I am able to rip us off.

    Also, bruh, you had all sorts of warnings and didn’t do anything until too late - that’s on you.

    This actually may end up being a good thing as it’ll prevent the US for dictating policy decisions for the rest of the world.

          The move means the U.S. will leave the United Nations health agency in 12 months’ time and stop all financial contributions to its work. The United States is by far the WHO’s biggest financial backer, contributing around 18% of its overall funding. WHO’s most recent two-year budget, for 2024-2025, was $6.8 billion.

          Edit: by the way, Tesla is gonna give Elon $58 billion a year.

            18% is easily able to be made up by the remaining members, China will likely make up most of that just as a way to step more into the role of hegemon after the us fully exits it’s role.

      I’m afraid China may dictate it instead and we all know that can’t possibly be an improvement.

    On the flip side, the US health agencies will keep their back channels open to the WHO.

    If something particularly nasty crops us they’ll have no choice other than to collaborate
