Arrr matey! The Trump crew be settin' sail, hackin' away at thousands o' shipmates' jobs and lettin' some walk the plank at the stroke of midnight! Aye, 'tis a right jolly ruckus on the high seas o' employment!
Arrr matey, gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn about the ruckus at the U.S. Agency for International Development, or as we sailors call it, USAID! The Trump captain be slashin' jobs faster than a cutlass in a tavern brawl, decidin' to send 1,600 fine crew members to Davy Jones’ locker of unemployment!As the clock struck midnight on the 23rd of February, a wave of administrative leave washed over the agency, leavin' fewer than 300 scallywags to keep the ship afloat. Reports be sayin’ that the few souls still aboard will be tendin' to the meager lifeboats of humanitarian aid left in the wake of this tempest. With boxes in hand, many a staffer departed, leavin' cheeky messages like, “We be abandonin' the world!” while another swab declared, “You can take the humanitarians out of USAID but ye can’t take the humanity out of the humanitarians!”Now, it seems the administration be takin' a shine to cost-cutting, with the notorious DOGE crew exposin’ alleged waste, like $20 million spent on a Sesame Street show in far-off Iraq! By thunder, that gold could’ve bought a ship or two! Aye, the seas be choppy for USAID, but the bold souls still sailin’ have a hearty laugh and a tale or two to tell!
