Let’s take a look at Nancy and Joe’s “COVID Relief Bill”
- 86 million being sent to Cambodia
- 134 million to Myanmar
- 1.3 billion to the Egyptian military
- 25 million for gender studies programs in Pakistan
- 505 million to Central America
- 40 million to the Kennedy Ctr(currently closed)
- 1 billion to the Smithsonian(also currently closed)
- 154 million to the National Institute of Art
“ This reaction observes the truth that the COVID relief bill was tied to a government funding omnibus, and so contains many items unrelated to the pandemic.
Still, many items strike as oddly directed.
There are billions in foreign aid with campus-sounding directives attached. There is a five-year strategy to “address the underlying cases of poverty and inequality” in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, and $10 million for “gender programs” in Pakistan.
Other progressive goals came through as well. The bill sets up three new museums: the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum, the National Museum of the American Latino and the Coast Guard Museum, which will be built in Connecticut instead of the nation’s capitol.
There is a call to recognize internationally that “the People’s Republic of China or any other government in the process of recognizing a successor or reincarnation of the 14th Dalai Lama and any future Dalai Lamas would represent a clear abuse of the right to religious freedom of Tibetan Buddhists and the Tibetan people.”
Other items would seem simply bizarre to non-government workers.
The bill makes racehorse doping illegal, makes the mailing of e-cigarettes illegal and makes it illegal to stream video material without authorization. It establishes the National Centers of Excellence for Artificial Intelligence, Liquefied Natural Gas Safety and the Automated Systems and Human Factors in Aircraft.”

Sounds like a bunch of shit that working class America really needs right now.
Fuck off, Kobe.
