There's amnesia in a hangknot,
And comfort in the ax,
But the simple way of poison will make your nerves relax.
There's surcease in a gunshot,
And sleep that comes from racks,
But a handy draft of poison avoids the harshest tax.
You find rest on the hot squat,
Or gas can give you pax,
But the closest corner chemist has peace in packaged stacks.
There's refuge in the church lot
When you tire of facing facts,
And the smoothest route is poison prescribed by kindly quacks.
Chorus: With an *ugh!* and a groan, and a kick of the heels,
Death comes quiet, or it comes with squeals --
But the pleasantest place to find your end
Is a cup of cheer from the hand of a friend.

U.S. Agency for International Development workers [who for some reason are troons] who previously relied on government funding to help local communities, have been forced to turn to highly dangerous sex work after the agency was killed by the Trump administration.

The Associated Press released a report Thursday on the plight of these workers in Nepal. Before the disruption to USAID, many workers were employed in Nepalese clinics, helping people living with HIV to get PrEP treatment, which helps to prevent infections.
NGO Federation of Nepal President Arjun Bhattarai estimated that 35,000 aid workers lost their jobs after the cuts that were triggered by the Trump administration.
In the first year of President Donald Trump’s second term, billionaire Elon Musk was selected by Trump—after donating millions to his presidential campaign—to lead the so-called Department of Government Efficiency.

DOGE was touted as a plan to cut wasteful government spending, but it instead led to privacy violations, lies about cost savings, and the gutting and eventual closure of agencies like USAID.
Without USAID, sex work has become the only viable option for many Nepalese aid workers, who are also gender and sexual minorities.

The work exposes individuals to possible violence, sexually transmitted diseases, and other risks. One worker interviewed by the AP said that their choice was to either to go into sex work or starve.
“The Trump administration’s executive order will cause people to die,” Dhakal said.
Experts on international aid have estimated a massive human toll from the cuts forced by Trump and Musk. In addition to the plight of Nepalese aid workers, vulnerable populations around the world no longer have access to vital medication, job training, and other funds and services that USAID provided.
Sucks to suck
Maybe build up your own civil society NGO bullshit instead of depending on Amerifat taxpayers?

FORTUNE'S GUIDE TO DEALING WITH REAL-LIFE SCIENCE FICTION: #2
What to do...
if you get a phone call from Mars:
Speak slowly and be sure to enunciate your words properly. Limit
your vocabulary to simple words. Try to determine if you are
speaking to someone in a leadership capacity, or an ordinary citizen.
if he, she or it doesn't speak English?
Hang up. There's no sense in trying to learn Martian over the phone.
If your Martian really had something important to say to you, he, she
or it would have taken the trouble to learn the language before
calling.
if you get a phone call from Jupiter?
Explain to your caller, politely but firmly, that being from Jupiter,
he, she or it is not "life as we know it". Try to terminate the
conversation as soon as possible. It will not profit you, and the
charges may have been reversed.
