@Asmongold@ComicDaveSmith America does not have “magic ground” that fundamentally changes who people are when they arrive here.
If we filter for high work ethic, talent & trustworthiness, we will get that.
If we don’t, we will inherit all the problems of the countries those people are leaving. The end.
It's 4 degrees, windy, and beginning to blizzard.
Despite this, the corner store is open. It has fresh bread and milk.
Men will go out in this awful weather to plow streets, refill heating oil, and restore electricity.
Even in conditions that would have killed people for most of human history, it is likely no one will die from exposure today. No one will use violence to get what they need to survive.
It is not charity or altruism that allows for all of this to be true, but markets.
More than any government or religion, it is markets which have enabled widespread, peaceful cooperation between strangers.
Make yourself a hot chocolate, watch the snow come down, and say thank you for markets.
@docmurdock@USAttyEssayli US attorneys won’t go after you unless they have you usually. Their successful prosecution rate is crazy high. Over 90% I believe with mandatory sentencing.
Alexander Soofer, 42, of Westwood, the executive director of the charity Abundant Blessings, was arrested this morning on a federal criminal complaint charging him with wire fraud -- a felony punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison.
Soofer is accused of lining his pockets with millions of taxpayer dollars intended to combat the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles. Instead, he allegedly used the money to purchase a $7 million home, took luxury trips across the United States, and paid for his children's private school tuition, among other luxury items.
He will make his initial appearance in federal court this afternoon. Mr. Soofer is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
For too long, California has left the spigot of taxpayer dollars on and has not provided anywhere near enough oversight of how the money is being spent.
Thankfully, the federal government is stepping in to enforce the law. We are demanding accountability -- something the state's leaders for years have failed to do.
This is the third significant arrest from our Homelessness Fraud and Corruption Task Force -- and we're just getting started.
Capitalists are so greedy for not wanting to provide everyone with free housing, food, healthcare, childcare, elder care, college, trade school, student loan forgiveness, public transit, utilities, internet, phones, vacations, guaranteed income, job guarantees, debt cancellation, mental health services, addiction treatment, disability support, cultural funding, climate reparations, and lifelong security.
Funny how refusing to be conscripted into servicing that list gets called “greed,”
while demanding it at gunpoint gets called “compassion.
Minnesotas Department of Human Services has given over $724,000,000 to an NGO(s) who’s name has been protected as “Masked to protect Not Public Data”
This is suspicious because other NGOs have their name but this certain NGO has been protected.
Expose all the fraud
Gambling ads on tv are so outrageous. You can parlay a parlay with 7 parlays, add injury protection insurance + concussion profit boosts. But that’s not all. Sit on your iPad and scan in your ass cheeks for a top secret bonus performance boost with automatic winnings paid out after a touchdown + a extra leg of a parlay bonus and if you lose all your bets they will refund all of your money but also give you $7,000 dollars in bonus bets but only if you’ve gotten dumped by your girlfriend in the past 3 months (must submit proof). Don’t forget about the bet 4 dollars and win 900,000 boner boost if you take any 5 leg parlay same game parlayed with Jackson mahomes doing the moonwalk naked across the field at Super Bowl 60. All terms and conditions apply, your entire family will be held hostage and possibly killed if you withdraw bonus bets without playing through your halftime poop boosts.
