"The United States is set to destroy nearly 500 metric tons of US-taxpayer funded emergency food meant for starving people around the world.

The high-energy, nutrient-dense biscuits have been sitting for months in a warehouse in Dubai, according to a former USAID official.

Now, because they expire this month, they will have to be destroyed – at an extra $100,000 charge to the American taxpayers"

How the fuck is any of this justified? USAID somehow sent biscuits to the richest nation on Earth for some reason and now they are a going past the expiration date and they want to charge 100k for disposal. this is the most asinine thing I ever read, just bring the buscuits back and cancel food stamps and they can eat the expired buscuits instead

Isn't emergency rations being replaced due to them reaching their expiration date normal? The only weird thing here is that the American government for some reason thought they should feed the entire world instead of just American people. You should be glad that Trump shut down USAID

Not gonna lie, former Trump voter here. This is fucking hilarious watching Trump crash and burn. But in all seriousness we can't let this guy get the nuclear codes.

More expensive to ship them back, burning them is cheaper. It was in Dudai to be sent elsewhere, the shuttering of USAAID meant they didn't have direction on what to do with them. The owners of the warehouse want it cleared out, so they're going to have them disposed of.

Out of principle the food should be saved. We have naval vessels and bases not too far away. The soldiers should eat the biscuits then.
