Don’t even go to the comments for a post like that, lol. Was an instant “mute this conversation” 😆

Freeze everything. Our government is a fucking disaster of corruption and waste. They are driving this country into the ground and frankly they never had any constitutional powers to spend money on 99.9% of the bullshit they engage in. It’s illegal anyway, explicitly and unambiguously so.

So I barely pay attention to X anymore but I do still post regularly.

I muted a post the other day that was doing numbers and found out from an Audionaut that Elon had RT’d it. Suddenly it makes a lot more sense 😆

I don’t think you have the proper lack of faith as to the competence or ethical grounding of “the authorities.”

This has nothing to do with their response or how they acted. And he didn’t have an obvious camera, he was knocking on the door asking for how to get his kid into the daycare. They were in full lockdown, blacked out windows, and defensive before there was any indication of what was even happening other than a parent enquiring about a daycare.

What you are referencing is an imagined concern in a situation that never actually happened. The actual events and their reactions are so horribly obvious that it slaps you in the face.

The CNN “fact check” was quite possibly the most Poe’s law thing I’ve seen in a year. Live on video they *called one of the daycares* and then asked them if they were a legitimate business, they said “yes” and then the “journalist” was like, “well there you have it.”

I legit thought it was Ai. I still kinda want to believe it was Ai because that level of retardation from a “serious” news outlet is difficult to comprehend.

To be more clear, what you are talking about is a situational evil, not a systemic one.

There are countless of these examples to pull from, but they require individual response, they are core to the structure of what is being done. We could spend every day for the rest of our lives focused on one off failures of govt like this (which wouldn’t be a wasted life mind you) and never even catch up to dealing with all of the immediately present problems today, let alone the millions more that will arise every year forever.

But what we are talking about that the daycare thing has shone a light on, is a vast, systemic network of fraud that totals in the trillions. A literal institution of fakery designed to rot the country from the inside out by draining it of resources to fund its own destruction. This is of a wholly different category and scope of problem than the situation you bring up.

That’s not 0.1% of the real problem here. You are focused on a twig and missing the forest if that’s where you think the real cost lies. Proportionality matters.

1000% have you not seen the insanity from the politicians, the attacks from Walz, the press events that bussed in a bunch of fake customers and kids, the “fact checks” from CNN?

There's an intuitively obvious way to know beyond reasonable doubt that the daycare situation is fraud:

If you actually had a legitimate business and someone with 1M+ followers came to your establishment with a camera to post online, you'd be overjoyed with the opportunity to show them around or brag about your daycare. Real business owners pay 10s of thousands of dollars for that kind of exposure.

The only reason you would lock down, get vicious, defensive, or violent, is because you got caught in a lie. Period.
