“12 billion dollars was allocated to the Navy for submarines and not one submarine was built.
42.5 billion dollars was allocated to hook people up to high-speed Internet, and not one single person was hooked up to high-speed Internet.
7.5 billion dollars was allocated to build EV charging stations. Only 37 stations were built. Thats 200 million per charging station.
Where is the rest of the money?”

“The corruption runs DEEP
– The Social Security checks being sent to dead people ARE being cashed
– Senator John Kennedy went to Social Security to fix this problem and was told it was ILLEGAL to share the information with Treasury who could fix it
IT IS ILLEGAL, “You don’t share it with the do not pay folks at Treasury? They said, nope. It’s against the law.””

Our township is getting high speed internet at last. It has been quite a process for the town board and people who petitioned for it. I recently received a contract myself. They will start the lines when the frost leaves the ground (not until April or May) and we will not get high speed until December or January.
It now takes years to get anything done. It has been 29 years and millions of dollars spent for one mine operation, which is still not going.
Following the money is important. So is following the process it takes to actually use the money.

10:03: also illegal for hospitals to share medical or mental health care or crises of a ward with her guardians. Or for the law to inform guardians of their interactions with said ward. How can guardians help or protect the ward if not kept informed?

However, somebody called the hospital in Alaska claiming to be me and was given full on our son before we were informed. I guess those laws have lots of room for interpretation.

But the world leaders and media don’t care, because they aren’t Ukrainian.

“They are carrying out a massacre against the minorities . . . Villages, cities wiped out . . . The situation is 100 times worse than what you’re seeing on the media . . . Please stop this genocide.”
