Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what your country is doing to you.

@WallStreetApes Here I go again. These talking points are cooked (pun intended) by extreme MAGA operators—then laundered through paid colored voices and “soy boys“ to game social media.

Attorney Mehek Cooke says massive fraud is taking place in Ohio She says fraudulent Somalian healthcare companies are being created charging as much as $250,000 per family per year FOR DOING NOTHING, it’s all fraudulent It’s all being billed to Medicaid and taxpayers are paying “These individuals tried to report the fraud that was happening in Ohio and then eventually came to me to say that we're watching providers rubber stamp paperwork for home health. So in Ohio, and there's many states like this, Pennsylvania and other states too, where you can go in and you can say my aging parent needs a home health care and I want to provide it. - You could sit at home without caring for an elderly parent who really doesn't need it, make about $75,000 to $90,000 a year. - Now you add 2 parents, that's $180,000 - Now you add your in-laws, $250,000 You continue to add this and you wonder what are the services being provided? So a lot of providers came and said fraud is occurring — Their home health care networks saying we'll make it worth your while. Well, sounds like a kickback to me. So we really need to investigate the Medicaid system and how much it's increased since the Somalian population came and who really needs critical care because that's meant for our disabled, our elderly and people who really need it not to just live off our system. And that's what's happening in Ohio. I think it's ridiculous. I think it's despicable.“

@zaqrider @WallStreetApes Spoken like someone riding the gravy train. This has been going on for years, someone's finally investigating, and you say, "We don't want to be too hasty." Yeah, we'll just let the fraud continue for another decade or two, then we'll look into it. By having meetings . . . .

@WallStreetApes Systems like Medicaid are crucial for supporting families and the elderly. Blanket accusations without full context can be misleading.

@CptMuchoTexto I wouldn't care so much about the country being flooded with 3rd world immigrants except we already have DEI discrimination against whites and it will get worse if we become the minority. There is no 'common ground' with those who blame you for stuff that happened centuries ago.

The most insufferable demographic in the west today has to be the second-generation immigrant who has fully assimilated into the local anti-white guilt culture minus the self-flagellation duties it assigns us. First-gens, as much as they take advantage of our status quo, are pretty much just riding the waves. The whole mindset behind our self-hatred is completely alien to most of them. Second-gens however aren't just riding the waves, they're actively participating in the generation of the waves. They've grown up on the mindset and will live and die by it. They don't just see the current status quo as a tilted playing field they can exploit, they see us making second-class citizens of ourselves in our own countries as righting some wrong in the world.

@YossiBenYakar Generations of Americans wondered why Jefferson included The Quartering of Troops as a grievance against the King in the Declaration of Independence. Was it really that big a deal? UKers will find out.

UK: “About 8 million people live alone — many could welcome a refugee into their home.” Now government think tanks and the radical Left are openly pushing for asylum seekers to be housed inside private homes. This was always the next step. From borders, to streets, to your front door.

“If we build more housing, the price of homes will go down, and homeowners will lose their wealth” I’m glad the President is admitting something that every homeowner blocking more housing is afraid to say out loud.

@ninoboxer As a child, Michael Jackson was given puberty blockers by his show-business-manager father in order to keep his singing voice high. This led to numerous health problems in adulthood, including his physical appearance and early death.

I've noticed that Reddit is very consistently negative about everything. No matter the topic, the dominant way people talk about anything is always extremely negative and critical. It's one reason I've never really used the site. Why is this?

@JJ_McCullough Young people have a tendency to resent older people until they become older themselves and with wisdom they come to see the full picture. Richard Nixon got us out of Vietnam, stopped the nuclear arms race, and established relations with China.

It seems each generation of American grows up under a Republican president they loathe—and they nurse that loathing long after the rest of the country stops caring—or even starts to embrace revisionist history about him. Nixon (Boomers) Reagan (GenX) Dubya (Millennials) and now…

one thing about George Washington is that we really don’t have anything named after him. no states or capital cities or universally recognizable monuments
Peter Baker@peterbakernyt

When Trump visited Mount Vernon in 2018, he couldn't understand why George Washington didn't name it after himself. “You’ve got to put your name on stuff or no one remembers you.” Reupping this prescient piece from @elianayjohnson and @dlippman politico.com/story/2019/04/…

raising hitler to be the great modern satan means liberals had to lend to him a sense of pathological competence. people have a tendency to respect people who 'make a name for themselves' regardless of success or ethics - it's regarded as a success in itself
Ben Dreyfuss@bendreyfuss

The funniest thing about the “aside from the mass killings, Hitler was a great leader” people is that…no he wasn’t? He led Germany into unimaginable ruin? He was a paranoid loser who overruled his best generals time and time again to disastrous effect?

@LuizaJarovsky People who think that the law is about facts and logic should consider that Elon's Tesla payment was taken away from him and DeCarlos Brown was on the street because of political considerations. The situation won't change until we have AI judges.

Luiza Jarovsky, PhD@LuizaJarovsky·
As a lawyer, let me tell you the main reason why AI will likely NOT kill all lawyers, and why law is actually one of the most 'AI-safe' professions today: The legal profession is very good at protecting itself. It's built around the idea of competence, authority, credibility, and gatekeeping. That's how it has been for centuries. If AI systems become very good at generating structurally complex and legally accurate outputs, legal procedure rules will be amended to make sure that: - a human lawyer is always involved in a legal case; - every legally relevant document is reviewed and signed by a human lawyer. Also, bar associations worldwide will likely create new rules around legal representation, including procedural and behavioral rules, in a way that a human lawyer will always be necessary. I don't see it changing in the next 15-20 years. After that, lawyers will probably find a new way to gatekeep. I view law as one of the 'AI safest' professions to pursue today (much safer than computer programming, by the way).
