The Lever reported Tuesday that USAID’s inspector general was in the process of investigating its own public-private partnership between Musk’s Starlink and the Ukrainian government at the time that the billionaire’s DOGE crippled the agency. Publicly available information about that probe is still online. An announcement from last May reads: “The USAID Office of Inspector General, Inspections and Evaluations Division, is initiating an inspection of USAID’s oversight of Starlink satellite terminals provided to the Government of Ukraine. Our objectives are to determine how (1) the Government of Ukraine used the USAID-provided Starlink terminals, and (2) USAID monitored the Government of Ukraine’s use of USAID-provided Starlink terminals.”

I mean, yeah, kinda.

Three kinds of people exist in the USA. People who opposed this. People who agreed with this. People who didn't care enough to oppose it. (Not counting the ones who can't vote due to age, not being a citizen, etc).

There's ~75 million in the first group, and everyone else falls in one of the other 2.

For those keeping score at home that's 265 million that did not oppose this. My country is so gross. I'm sorry world.
