Waste, Fraud, and Abuse

Is it the government or the blacks? Should the government legislate your preferences?

Historically, it has been both government and blacks - cause and effect. I do not believe the government can legislate racism away. If but they could. Personally, I have no reason to have issues with black folks. I never have.

Somehow it's the governments fault "Black residents face higher displacement risks, lower homeownership rates, and inequitable treatment"?

These issues are a shared responsibility, just as I previously posted. Nothing is completely someone else's fault. Taking ownership over our own actions is the initial step in creating change for ourselves. The blame game does not work. It never has and it never will.

Sometimes it does, the government is not your daddy, do better.

Doge was super effective for collecting data and neutering Elon's enemies as they planned.

What a colossal failure.  More the same with these incompetents. Although its obvious to anyone with a brain that this was simply a smoke screen to access valuable data and mute agencies going after him. A nice little gift for all the money he gave trump!

So was it super effective or a colossal failure by incompetents? Geez you're a mess today. Maybe take the day off and read some local news stories.

I think Elon was doing great with Doge.  He was doing so well they paid protesters to burn down his business and try to destroy his life.

lolol

unhinged take.

Maybe it was because he was cutting things that people rely on that don't meet the criteria for waste or abuse? just things he didn't like. Have you not seen the tech bros interviews on their selection criteria? it was based on words being present.

In January Gavin Newsom ridiculed Dr. Oz for looking into hospice fraud in Los Angeles. Newsom claimed that he had the fraud under control and that Dr. Oz's investigation was purely political.

Today Oz announced that they shut down 800 fraudulent hospice businesses around LA and saved the taxpayer over a billion dollars a year.

Newsom has no business running for President. He's corrupt and totally incompetent.

Subcontractors say they’re owed millions, face financial ruin, after helping build Obama Presidential Center

The Obama Presidential Center was billed as a lasting legacy to former President Barack Obama, and its construction was touted as an ambitious model built with aggressive goals for minority-owned and local businesses.

But now, some of the very subcontractors who helped build the 19.3-acre campus on Chicago’s South Side say they are facing financial ruin as they race to recover millions of dollars they claim remain unpaid ahead of the center's grand opening Friday. Overall construction costs were reported to be $830 million in 2021, and have likely climbed past the $1 billion mark.

A Fox News Digital investigation identified multiple construction firms claiming losses ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to tens of millions. The allegations cut against one of the Center's defining goals: helping minority-owned businesses and local contractors grow through one of Chicago's highest-profile construction projects. Several of the complaints reviewed by Fox News Digital come from firms that were supposed to benefit from that mission.

Among them is Adamson Plumbing, whose owner Mike Owen says is nearly $4 million in the red after years of work on the project.

"That is a hole that no subcontractor, small business can survive," Owen said.

Subcontractor owners interviewed by Fox News Digital described what they characterized as a chaotic work environment marked by repeated design changes, rework, scheduling disruptions, extensive oversight and years-long compensation disputes that still remain unresolved.

Several also described what they viewed as a wall of silence surrounding the project, with some declining to speak publicly or requesting anonymity because of confidentiality agreements or fears of professional retaliation.
