i haven’t heard of any bureaucrats getting a pay cut, either
United Nations risks ‘imminent financial collapse’, secretary general warns.
You’d think that they’d be laying off people, but no, they’d rather cut “Aid” than stop employing their friends and colleague’s second and third sons and daughters….
It isn’t just the United States that is refusing to pay. Lots of nations are either paying only a fraction of their dues or not at all..
Countries don’t want a significant portion of their GDP going to employ a bunch of useless european bureaucrats and enrich a bunch of connected families.
Much like the USAID cuts, the only people really affected are the people profiting from those programs….
Now that the World Health Organization isn’t being funded by the United States, they are also starting to worry as there are a lot of useless jobs there also under the gun….
At the end of it all, the world can more easily do without the UN than the UN can do without the world..
UN=Global Soviet Trojan Horse.
UN is just another in a long list of organizations that exist only for the benefit of those that are running the show. All of these liberal/left organizations exist solely to profit those that run them. 20 years ago I wold have said I was cynical, today I’m a realist!
It’s one of the oldest bureaucratic tricks. Cut programs that are going to affect the most people to start the histrionics instead of actually looking for efficiencies. What they don’t realize is that once the US public got tired of financing them the tricks won’t work. Because we don’t care.
Boot them to the third world and turn the building into something productive!
I’m not even pretending to try to care.
