Cruel Summer

The American president salivating over suffering

"The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy. -Elon Musk

Yesterday, to mark the official end of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)...The 60-year-old humanitarian organization has saved millions of lives and thus promoted goodwill around the world. The most tangible way USAID did this was by providing medicine and supplies to curb preventable deaths such as those from HIV/AIDS, malaria, diarrhea, pneumonia, and tuberculosis.

Apparently, that was too empathetic for Musk...

Empathy should be celebrated, not eviscerated. It shows strength of character, not fragility. As Americans, it's time to ask: If we aren't empathetic, who are we? -Dan Rather
