Hari ini baru dapat tulisan Vid Adrison (dosen UI) tentang kasus Tom Lembong. BPKP (dan JPU) anggap impor gula mentah sebagai kerugian negara gara2 tarifnya lebih kecil dari gula jadi. This is too mindblowing

My only working explanatory hypothesis right now is that billionaires and authoritarians *Literally* thrive on human misery; that if people aren't suffering then all their money and power don't actually sustain them, and that cruelty & sheer horror are the only things that flow through their veins.

MBG pada prinsipnya bagus. Problem utamanya memang di implementasi. Salah satu kuncinya adalah partisipasi publik untuk pengawasan. Makanya sebenernya aneh kalo malah dilarang upload foto, padahal ini justru salah satu syarat sukses program seperti ini.

Just to repeat, the White House has provided *no evidence* to back up the President’s claim of widespread fraud in USAID. The evidence it has presented points in precisely the other direction.
