🇺🇸 RFK Jr. revealed the Biden administration gutted anti-fraud oversight at his agency. There used to be 80 people watching over $2.2 trillion in annual payments across 50 states. Xavier Becerra transferred 76 of them out. When RFK Jr. took over, only six were left. He said it was an open invitation for fraudsters. Fake hospices billed for thousands of phantom patients. Durable medical equipment and autism services scams ran into the tens of billions, especially in LA. The old policy was literally “pay and chase.” Send the money first, then try to get it back later. https://x.com/MarioNawfal/status/2087356394299420918

Einer der größten Scams der Neuzeit: > Linke Parteien fördern ihnen wohlgesonnene Wirtschaftsinstitute mit Steuergeld > Parteien sorgen dafür, dass Vertreter regelmäßig im ÖRR sprechen dürfen > Die Reichweite macht sie auf dem Papier zu "relevanten Ökonomen" >> Anschließend wird die Bevölkerung beinahe täglich mit Schlagzeilen wie "Top-Ökonom lobt Rentenpläne der SPD" konfrontiert >> Dem Großteil der Wähler fehlt die ökonomische Kompetenz sich eine eigene Meinung zu bilden >> Der Experte wird als vermeintlich neutral verkauft Ein cleverer Scam. Er würde m.M.n. noch besser funktionieren, wenn es inzwischen nicht völlig abstrus übertrieben werden würde. So abstrus, dass es immer mehr Menschen durchschauen. #Scam #Wirtschaft #Politik

Writers beware 🚨 There are soooo many scams targeting writers at the moment. I’m getting 2-3 scam emails a day. I guess AI has made it really quick & easy to target us more convincingly now (most include a flattering synopsis of your work etc.) Double/triple check everything!!! #WritersBeware #ScamAlert #WritingCommunity #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.

Als de VRT zich wil gedragen als een commerciële zender, moeten we die privatiseren. Belastinggeld moet niet dienen om de private markt te beconcurreren. De enige die van dit soort scams beter wordt, is de BV-kaste zelf. Door overheidsconcurrentie wordt hun waarde immers kunstmatig opgekrikt. Afschaffen die handel! #afuera #VRT #privatisering #belastingen
