    I’ll elaborate. Clearly the part of the story that matters is that an important resource providing information on reproductive health was taken down for what seems like absurd and petty partisanship. Nonchalantly discarding resources that were built with our taxpayer dollars bugs the shit out of me, especially when it’s such critical information for a government to provide.

    I was just pointing out that a huge chunk of government work like designing, building, and maintaining websites for all the agencies, programs, departments, etc. is done by federal contractors, whose contracts are funded with our taxpayer dollars. And by taking down the website like it’s nothing, the administration is just tossing our money down the drain.

    These things are also expensive as all hell, way way too expensive, but that’s a different problem.
