Gerald Markel wrote that Elon Musk has apparently shut down or restricted Starlink for the Ukrainian military. He described the reactions of a European group he referred to as the "war-mongering front" on X as overly excited. Additionally, Markel claimed that Ukrainians have purchased real estate worth more than 2 billion euros in Spain alone since the war began in 2022, and presented this as a use of tax money. #ElonMusk #Ukraine #Starlink (translated)

The author said Aontú parliamentary questions had found that the government incorrectly paid out €1 billion in social welfare and never recovered the money. They added that much of the overpayment appeared to have resulted from fraud, and said taxpayers’ money had been given away without anything in return. https://t.co/cZVpPLp3z0 #SocialWelfare #Fraud #TaxpayersMoney #IE

NEW: RFK Jr. says Medicare spending on wound care patches exploded from $200 million in 2019 to $14 billion last year: "It's all stolen." Bad actors billed Medicare billions by slapping the most expensive skin grafts on elderly and dying patients who didn't need them. "The doctors who prescribed them would get 6% of the sales cost. And so, they were incentivized to prescribe more expensive products. In Europe, they spend 35 cents a cubic inch. We were spending $135, and that went up to $2,000 a cubic inch." "So 2019, we were paying $200 million. Last year we spent 14 billion. All stolen. It's all stolen. And we were on track to spend 23 billion this year." "We put an end to it, and we now have driven that cost down to somewhere around a billion dollars." In one Arizona case, the owners of two wound care companies pleaded guilty to more than $1.2 billion in fraudulent claims. Medicare paid over $1 million per patient for grafts slapped on elderly patients who didn't need them, many of them dying in hospice. In June, DOJ charged 11 more defendants over more than $2 billion in allograft claims, including a company accused of issuing sham invoices to inflate what Medicare paid. It feels like every week I learn a new way people were ripping off taxpayers for billions. https://x.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/2105375659401035868

Look at these two surveys. I know the methodology and the questions are not identical. But I’m not going to sugarcoat it: if one of these pictures is true, the other one cannot be. And that immediately raises a serious question: are European taxpayers financing European https://t.co/h6IcgKW3kb #EU #Taxpayers #Surveys #EU #BE #FR #DE
