Yamah Freeman hemorrhaged while pregnant with her third child in her village in Liberia. The United States had provided ambulances to the local hospital, but the aid cuts under Musk and President Trump
meant that the ambulances had no fuel. The strongest young men in the village placed her on their shoulders and raced down the path toward town, shouting encouragement to her as they ran, but she bled to death along the way. Her parents and sister told me about this, and I visited her grave.
- You got a 3rd child in the village in Liberia, what about the kids homeless in the US or growing up in poverty?
- The US has been nice enough to gift you an ambulance. Should it have to give you fuel too? Isn't that absurd?
- Kristoff is basically doubling down on his absurdity, blaming Trump and Elon, of 3rd, 4th degree murder, for the NY Times readers
- It's not their fault, it's their foreign fault as a country
- You have cash to visit Liberia, or NY Times sponsored your trip? Did you fly business class? You could've given them a business class in how to pay for some fuel or for the strongest young men in the village to shout about how much they hate the USA, or want free stuff from the USA.
- I saw Elon's X post about the way they had USAID logos behind a bunch of militants, it's absurd.
- Did you go to visit the graves of the people who demanded honesty from Liberia's government, did you lay a lily for them?
- This is all their fault, they can't expect the US to pay for their fuel, that's not a slave colony, that's a 'sovereign republic'
