We explore the unseen fallout of U.S. government cuts abroad. Hollie recounts her recent trip to Taiwan, where she met “Joy,” a local fixer and single mother left unpaid after Voice of America was abruptly shuttered. What began as a reporting trip turned into a window into the lives of those abandoned by American bureaucracy. Hollie and her co-host discuss the deeper consequences of disorganized exits, from failed aid transitions to the systemic neglect of women in developing countries. From Taiwan to Sudan, it’s a powerful reminder that even quiet decisions in Washington can ripple violently through everyday lives around the globe.
