• Fun new Covid scam

    From Newsgroup: alt.buddha.short.fat.guy


    This week, The Wall Street Journal brings us news of a perfect Covid
    scam. Just one little $10 billion example. Yes, billion. With a b. The
    scam was directed at the rCLShuttered Venue Operators Grant,rCY which was meant to rCLsupport theaters and music halls.rCY Except most of the cash
    seems to have gone to rich performers and talent agents.

    ItrCOs hard to get onerCOs head around $10 billion of waste. Does the report say that the rapper Lil Wayne spent $1.3 million of the taxpayer grant
    money on private jets? Of course. Does the report say that Chris Brown
    gave himself a random $5 million bucks? Sure does.

    The federal government is now trying to do a big fraud crackdown across
    the board. They estimate that $180 billion was stolen last year, mostly through Medicare and Medicaid scams. Which means this is, what, ten
    times that? HererCOs Dr. Oz on the fraud crackdown: rCLWe believe that at least half of the hospices in the entire area around Los Angeles are fraudulent. And today we announce 800 of those hospices have been
    suspended. . . . Eight hundred hospices that last year charged the
    federal taxpayer $1.4 billion will no longer be paid.rCY

    When you pay taxes, imagine the most degenerate con man you can, because
    he is so grateful for your contribution. The hospice fraudsters are very
    glad you do that long commute to the office and unfortunately miss
    family dinners and maybe your back hurts from sitting all day and you
    canrCOt save money. It must be this way, you see, to fund the fraud. The artists need to fly private. It was a scary time for them, and business
    class ainrCOt what it used to be.

    One last fraud note from this weekrCOs crackdown frenzy is that a man
    named Brett Blackman was convicted of orchestrating a $1 billion
    Medicare fraud. rCLThe Department of Justice crushed one of the most
    egregious fraud schemes in Florida history,rCY says Acting Attorney
    General Todd Blanche. Hold on, Todd, a stolen billion is one of the most egregious. Who the hell is number one?

    HererCOs Brett Blackman, obviously:

    This is when you realize it's a circus and these are your clowns.

    "The Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG) program, authorized by
    Congress in December 2020 and funded with over $16 billion, provided
    crucial pandemic relief to over 12,000 entertainment venues. However, it became known for massive mismanagement, with reports of celebrities
    receiving millions while others struggled to qualify, and over $500
    million in potential improper payments identified as of late 2024."

    So, I don't think anyone thinks that taxes will go down if fraud is
    eliminated in federal artist and stage production grants. Are you serious?

    Federal income tax is only going down if the US reduces the size of the federal government, reduces spending, and starts minding it's own
    business, like fraudulent grants to rappers YMMV.

    i wonder how much waste/fraud goes on in private sector comparatively. i
    mean uber spends billions of dollars a year on engineering that doesn't
    really do much besides fulfill the myopic fantasies of middle
    management. it fundamentally only takes fractions of cents in compute
    power to match drivers and riders ... but somehow the entire ride share
    market operates at like a 30% cut to the platform ...

    anyways, do have any solutions beyond just cutting programs??? lol

    because i see a lot of whining and not a lot of solution discussion

    also, care to throw in another off topic response dud?

    bruh this fucking country spends $30 billion a year giving money to the

    like we actually tax citizens and give that fucking money to an already extremely profitable oil industry.

    in the us ... the people pay the oil industry. ybut in states with nationalized oil industries like saudi arabia ... the oil industry pays
    the people. _and_ they cheap gas prices to boot, like fuck...

    And the good guys have moved to remove this

    Do you imagine that your tax bill will be any less because of that?

    Based on recent Republican behavior, absolutely not.

    seems to have gone to rich performers and talent agents.

    ItrCOs hard to get onerCOs head around $10 billion of waste. Does the
    report say that the rapper Lil Wayne spent $1.3 million of the
    taxpayer grant money on private jets? Of course. Does the report say
    that Chris Brown gave himself a random $5 million bucks? Sure does.

    The federal government is now trying to do a big fraud crackdown
    across the board. They estimate that $180 billion was stolen last
    year, mostly

    lol, and what percentage of the associate spend was that? the total
    fiscal spend for 2025 was $7 trillion... u can't really be crying that
    much about 2% lost to fraud eh??? heck private companies barely care
    about that much.

    what am i missing here, wilson?

    What you seem to be missing is the idea that fraud should not be
    allowed. That it's caustic to society. And that people who do it are
    predatory and need to be behind bars.

    bruh this fucking country spends $30 billion a year giving money to the hugely profitable oil industry...

    like we actually tax citizens and give that fucking money to an already extremely profitable oil industry.

    in the us ... the people pay the oil industry. ybut in states with nationalized oil industries like saudi arabia ... the oil industry pays

    i can't believe wilson defends the private oil industry. fucking ridiculous

    It sounds like you haven't actually looked into the tax breaks that the
    oil industry gets.

    Yes Nick, it's tax breaks and not payments from the government.

    That said, should the oil industry have special taxes or reduced
    deductions because they're oil?

    Maybe.

    If you think that, why don't you tell us why they should be singled out?

    The federal government is now trying to do a big fraud crackdown across
    the board. They estimate that $180 billion was stolen last year, mostly
    through Medicare and Medicaid scams. Which means this is, what, ten
    times that? HereAs Dr. Oz on the fraud crackdown: oWe believe that at
    least half of the hospices in the entire area around Los Angeles are
    fraudulent. And today we announce 800 of those hospices have been
    suspended. . . . Eight hundred hospices that last year charged the
    federal taxpayer $1.4 billion will no longer be paid.o

    So the suggested solution seems to be, there should be no hospices.

    No one has even remotely said that.

    True, but I know how you guys think, after a decade or so of listening
    to you. I don't read minds, but I do listen carefully.

    Not that steps should be taken to end accused (not proven) fraud. Not
    proven does not prevent the shutdown of hospices though, it seems.

    The important part of this message then is that alleged fraud is being
    treated as proven fraud.

    You don't know what's been proven. You certainly haven't investigated it >yourself.

    Again, I simply listen to you guys talk as if it has been proven,
    without any evidence of that. Nuff said.

    And the good guys have moved to remove this
    onerous burden from your tax bill.

    Do you imagine that your tax bill will be any less because of that?

    Based on recent Republican behavior, absolutely not.

    Yeh, buy you love them anyway, right?
