Ok weirdos, here it is. This Giveaway is all about firearms training. The prizes: A copy of @BenStoeger187 new book on dryfire training A set of simulated distance targets for your training at home 2 Glock 19 Dry Fire training magaines from @textacdesigns A used @TREXARMSinc AIWB G19 holster with sidecar. This gives you everything to start carrying and training properly. Just add Glock 19. In all the years I have been in and around the firearms world I often hear the same excuse for why people don't train or carry appropriately. "I already spent $600 on the gun and $200 on ammo. I don't want to spend another $100-300 on that stuff if I don't have to." Ok fine. Now you don't have to. Let's get this one out there as far as we can so maybe some normies can get some chances to win. If a post about vape cartridge components can get 300k impressions then this should do better. Let's help somebody get trained up. Comment to enter Like, repost, quote, follow to support Winner will be announced in 1 week Good luck everyone

Seems funding was axed. However, it wasn't a USAID program. It was a USDA program. ------------------- The lead agency is USDA, not USAID. Screwworm eradication and the maintenance of the biological barrier have been run for decades by USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), primarily through COPEG (the Panama–United States Commission for the Eradication and Prevention of Screwworm). APHIS has funded 90% of COPEG's activities and estimated in 2025 that its investment has saved the U.S. cattle industry $2.3 billion annually. The sterile-fly production facility that anchors the barrier was completed in 2006 in Panama and managed jointly by Panama's Agriculture Ministry and USDA's APHIS. Congress.govU.S. Embassy in Costa Rica What the program has cost (the USDA/APHIS side): The longer-run program cost in the region: the overall cost of the Screwworm Eradication Program in Central America has been approximately $200 million, including $41 million in Costa Rica. (That figure spans the earlier eradication push, not a clean 20-year window.) U.S. Embassy in Costa Rica Recent emergency surge funding, all from USDA via the Commodity Credit Corporation: APHIS received emergency funding of $109.8 million in 2023 and $165 million in 2024, and in May 2025 USDA announced an additional $21 million transfer to convert a fruit-fly facility in Metapa, Mexico, into a sterile fly-rearing facility. Congress.gov In early 2026, USDA launched a $100 million "Grand Challenge" funding initiative through APHIS to combat New World screwworm. Vet Times Where USAID actually fit in. USAID's role was comparatively small and indirect, mostly channeled through UN FAO disease-monitoring programs rather than the core eradication effort. When those were cut in 2025, the terminated programs sent to Congress included $250 million across FAO's Global Health Security Program, which housed projects monitoring avian flu, swine fever, and New World screwworm in Central America — but screwworm was bundled with several other diseases, so no screwworm-specific USAID dollar amount was broken out. Notably, when pressed, USDA didn't address the USAID funding question directly, instead pointing to its own $109.8 million CCC allocation, and a keyword search of cancelled USAID awards didn't turn up anything specifically labeled screwworm. Agri-PulseSalon So the bottom line: there's no published figure for "USAID spending on screwworm eradication over 20 years" because USAID wasn't running that effort. If you want a defensible number for U.S. government spending on screwworm control in the region, the figures to cite are USDA/APHIS's: roughly $200 million historically for the Central America program plus ~$396 million in recent surge/initiative funding (2023–2026).
