Thoughts on the Nick Shirley Minnesota Fraud video:
The whole thing pisses me off. It's terrible journalism. The whole video, there isn't any real thing he's showing except the outsides of the buildings and the dollar amounts they received.
The whole thing is sloppy. The whole video they conflate the number of kids the center in licensed for, with how many are reported to be enrolled there.
Every single person they talk to, they are like Jake Tapper, asking questions to provoke them, or to get a "fraudster confronted" clip for YT shorts. They never ask questions that could get them more information. They get random people on the street, feed them a story and get a clip of them agreeing with them. At the very least, hide the camera, hide the mic. Actually go undercover and play out the lil Joey bit. The way they did it was retarded and obviously unserious. Even a legit business wouldn't take them in.
The whole thing is obviously a political front. It's not good journalism, just right wing propaganda. They blame it all on Tim Walz but don't even try to show that it's somehow a worse problem in Minnesota than other states. For the record, I see plenty of old "medical transport" minivans at the mosque here in New York too. I don't ever see them carrying anyone and I doubt they would exist without government funding.
That being said, the timing is very sus. Just a month ago Trump said some shit about Somalis, gets attacked by the media for it, and this is perfectly timed to be pointed to and go "Trump proven right, libs owned" by all the usual suspects like Tim Pool and the like. I think it's more likely than not that the boomer in the video works for Trump on some level and was sent to feed this story to Nick who is obviously an aligned personality who is used to making fake journalism for the right wing machine based off his past videos.
As for what I think is actually happening with the Somalis?
I know how tight knit immigrant communities are. One person discovers a free money hack and in a year everyone is doing it. A lot of times it's fully legal, usually when the money hack is downstream of some government money, it starts as legit and then a lot of them discover the government doesn't actually check and it turns to fraud. I have seen this with Turkish people too where in a couple years, every unemployed housewife takes a 6 month course and becomes a cybersecurity analyst or a Java tester with 5 years of fake experience and gets hired due to a temporary gap in the market for the role after a lot of Indians got deported.
Minnesota pays for poor peoples child care. If you know somalis, they don't send their kids to daycare, they have a lot of them, and their wives don't have stable jobs so they can take care of them at home. You have a massive population of children that the government is willing to pay for, that the parents don't actually want the service for. Most likely, all these daycares have every parent they know signing their kids up for their daycare on paper, and getting the money from the state. The parents don't care because they don't need the childcare anyways and the state doesn't care, because they see money going towards a child's care, and haven't received any complaints for the business. As far as they're concerned, that money was already allocated for the child and there's no extra money being spent, beyond what they would pay to actually send that kid to a daycare.
Most normies have no problem whatsoever with collecting government money. How many Americans collect unemployment when they could find a job, or collect disability with a fake injury and work secretly?
All government spending is fraud waiting to happen, and plenty of people who you wouldn't think of as bad people see nothing wrong with taking from the government since they see it as all powerful.
At the end of the day, it's a very conveniently timed hitpiece on Somalis. They even try to imply violence and that it's somehow connected to violent crime. There are definitely Somalis in gangs but this seems to be simple fraud. They weren't in any danger anywhere in the video and they still spend the whole video acting like they are risking their lives.
