Yeah the latest video of him being confronted by bobbleheads has me worried for his life. They're definitely stupid enough to gank him without caring how it plays out afterwards.

I feel like some of the people who benefit from the fraud are just cargo culters. Like, if someone tells you to bring your kid somewhere to walk out with a no-catch envelope full of cash a minute later and all evidence seems to indicate it works….why stop?
The issue is, we’ve given the cargo cultists a vote on where the cargo goes. That’s basically just what democracy is, but the voters are expected to be taxpayers with some consciousness that they are voting for their own money to be distributed. Instead, people just see our money as something like an MMORPG in game currency. You can just make it out of thin air and it doesn’t have to have any link to real world labor to produce it.
But that seems to be how our government treats the money anyway. The pilots are just as disconnected from reality as the cultists.
So Mr. Somalia takes his fraud money and buys a mansion. The construction company gets paid and everything seems fine.
But then one of the construction workers goes to buy his own house and finds that he has been outbid for it by someone who earns their income doing a daycare fraud rain dance. So, he quits the job and does a rain dance himself. Now the construction company needs to entice workers while competing with the idea of just doing a rain dance and earning more.
There is no conceivable national interest in allowing this to continue.

Somali food is Ethiopian good and Ethiopian food is fucking disgusting. So they don't even have that excuse.

I refuse to exist in a world where we simultaneously claim we have invented AI and also claim AI can’t master Somalian cuisine for us.

Minnesota, huh? Didn't a Somalian run for mayor of Minneapolis recently?

Are there even still Americans in the US at this point?

Why is it always Minnesota. Is it something in the air or maybe in the water?

Didn't a whitey win because he sided with a different Somali group to vote against this Somali cause he wasn't the right kind of Somali?
It seems like the smaller their head, the more normal they are. Cause this guy seemed like he would put an end to the scams. But then again, they do lie and often lie very very well.

Except that they didn't, they're just the tool that are working for the real scammers in exchange for that sweet gibsmedat
In fact, the apes just gave the fraud away by not having a modicum of effort to make those shitholes look like actual daycare centers, not even correcting the glaring gramatical errors or making the place look presentable, it was the typical shoddy nigger work that made people suspicious

Holy shit, Walz should get his retarded pasty ass indicted. Your state government has known about this for years and hasn't done anything like the enablers you are. Your school shooter friends should just bend you over right now and peg you with their barrels.

What is even the point of modern legacy media that random zoomers consistently do better job at them in exposing massive cases of fraud?
Besides being a voice for the elites, of course.

This shit is disgusting on so many levels. Even bringing it up is met with calls of racism. The unfairness that people fresh off the boat can get this service free when fucking lifelong citizens can’t have kids because daycare / housing costs are crippling (when not subsidized by the state). Fraudsters getting millions when actual daycare workers get paid shit wages while taking care of people in their most malleable developmental stage. And of course the kids who are probably sitting at home watching YouTube 16 hours a day instead of learning everything a kid should at that age. Seriously, what the fuck.
Waltz’s response to this makes him absolutely radioactive in future elections. Shame, too, because he seems like a decent guy.

Doesn't work that way because the construction worker isn't an ethnic voting bloc. Government would crack down hard on him and then hold a press conference triumphantly declaring they have zero tolerance for fraud.

Oh boy. The Star-Tribune has been forced to actually say something that isn't "nuh uh, our beautiful Somalian neighbors dindu nuffin." It's from their conservative columnist, Andy Brehm, but it's still a sign the strategy is no longer "ignore it."
Every archive site I try to use is down (anyone know of an available one?) so this is the best I can do.
Minnesotans are known to appreciate the local angle in national news stories. That perspective certainly shows up in this newspaper a lot. It makes sense. We’re proud of our state. And we like living here. Minnesotans like me enjoy when the country is talking about the special place we call home.
But in recent days, there was no local angle to the biggest social media story out there — 23-year-old YouTuber Nick Shirley’s viral video documenting apparently egregious displays of day care fraud being perpetrated in Minnesota’s Somali community. No, Minnesota was the entire angle of the story. And the picture was not pretty.
When it comes to the monetary enormity of the fraud committed in Minnesota in recent years, our ability to be shocked has probably passed. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota, which has the most credibility of any agency on this issue, has already predicted the total could be nearly $9 billion in stolen taxpayer dollars. That’s nearly 2% of Minnesota’s annual GDP, and is real money you and I work hard for that is meant to help needy Minnesota families. It’s only natural to be outraged that our state government let so much of it fall into the hands of fraudsters. My blood has been boiling for a while now.
But what made it boil even more was what stood out to me while watching Shirley’s video, which has over 100 million views on X: how extraordinarily little Minnesota state government does to prevent this kind of obvious fraud from happening. And by little, I mean nearly nothing. You’d almost think the Walz administration just didn’t really care. It was painful to watch an out-of-town kid do the kind of simple due diligence in a single afternoon that state agencies should have been doing with rigor for years.
In one now infamous scene, Shirley visits the Quality Learning Center in south Minneapolis, which the video notes has received roughly $4 million in funding from the state. But while the facility is apparently licensed for 99 children, Shirley could not find one. He visited other state-funded day care sites around the city, too, and found them to also be absent of minors, the reason they receive our tax dollars in the first place. It was alarming and compelling footage.
Some have argued Shirley’s evidence is potentially circumstantial. Fine. Minnesota media should be digging in on these claims and either substantiating or disproving them. The manager of the Quality Learning Center told reporters Shirley visited his facility during off hours. In another conflicting explanation to that one, Tikki Brown, commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families, initially said the day care had actually closed last week. Taxpayers deserve a decisive and truthful explanation.
But what we do know is that it would not be hard for a day care facility in Minnesota to perpetrate the kind of fraud Shirley believed he recorded in his YouTube video. As former state legislative auditor Jim Nobles recently wrote on these very pages: “For example, we saw documents — paper attendance sheets filled out by child care staff and used to claim payments from the state — that were suspect on their face. Yet the state paid the claims without any independent verification of how many children had been served. This permissive approach made it easy for fraudsters to steal.”
Even if these facilities are indeed serving actual children, which I find hard to believe, it’s still hard to comprehend how they are receiving tax dollars to do so.
The Quality Learning Center referenced above is so incompetently mismanaged that they spelled “learning” as “learing” in the sign over their front door. Did Walz’s inspectors, who claim to have visited the site, notice that before sending them more checks? During its first licensing review in 2022, the center racked up more than 25 violations and continued to be flagged for numerous violations over the years apparently without funding consequences. This day care, if not up to malfeasance, is enough of a dump to have gone out of business long ago. But public money likely kept it afloat.
Former Minnesota Gov. Arne Carlson recently said, “The taxpayer is entitled to the same quality management we expect of business.” Quite right. Can you imagine if a private enterprise had doled out billions of dollars to phony vendors without standard financial controls and oversight, as the Walz administration did? Shareholders would revolt. Executives would be fired. Federal regulators would be welcomed in. Reform would be put in place at every level. Minnesotans must demand nothing less of this inept state government that has failed them. This catastrophe demands we get answers to the kind of tough questions Nick Shirley is rightly asking. Now.

Brehm: Minnesota deserves answers to questions raised by this viral fraud video

The cope on Reddit about this has been absolutely incredible to watch unfold. There is so much fraud going on people can't even get their facts straight. My favorite thing they've been saying so far is whenever somebody brings up the daycare grift they go "they've been investigating that for ten years" or "that's already been investigated"
Like bro if they knew about it ten years ago why is it still happening

Some of these daycare fraud funds literally are going back to terrorist groups in Somalia though
