Am I supposed to care about the Fauci museum exhibit?

No, I care about being able to rely on the federal government doing what it said it would do. So that if I get a federal contract I know that I'm not going to bankrupt my company by following through on my side of the deal, never knowing if they're going to renege on their part.

The Fauci museum is more than halfway through the period the money was supposed to be spent during. Does that mean we have spent $90K to get nothing? That doesn't sound so fiscally conservative.

Also, fuck the Daily Mail for propagating bullshit talking points about COVID being created in a US government lab in China (long established as false.)

America has spent WAY MORE the 90 doing nothing with everything trump and cancer musk are cancelling with zero regard for the usa and its citizens .. wasting billions in contracts and such. Don't worry, he'll make up for it when the rest of the world pays all those tariffs /s

I sure don't.

It's incredible that fiscal responsibility is so an alien concept. This is excellent work. Even more if you slash spend not going into necessary health care

170k isn't that much. My brother's 2 bedroom house is that much. This is basically the salary of two people. Also why do they have the authority to cancel these?
