My brother in law was just laid off because he works for an NGO in South Africa that is funded by USAID… he has been working for them for years.

The USA has just become the Useless Shits of Africa. I hate myself for allowing Trump to cause me to hate him

I'm so sorry. This will unfortunately affect many employees and aid recipients.

I’m so sorry to hear that; I’m sure his skills would still be in demand there?
I’m hoping he has a soft landing.

He is an accountant with years of experience. I don’t think he will battle. But it is an ominous situation. Many people with HIV have benefited from antiretrovirals for free through various USAID programmes.

As an accountant , one of the big four will comfortably accommodate him, so he shall have a soft landing I think.
And you’re right it is really about the withdrawal of his value to the vulnerable people he served before that is the tragedy here.
