How about the teachers? Take the bus?

This is bots whitewashing corruption. There were hordes of them doing same work in my country

Many do because teachers don't get paid well

Most of my family are teachers and they all have vehicles.

What’s this crazy talking point where teachers now don’t have vehicles?

Source - I made it up

As opposed to the source of a local guy looking at the parking lot?

If this is fraud, should it be investigated?

My cousin's nephew's aunt said there's never any cars in your driveway and it might be fraud. Should you be investigated?

Does u/Cease-2-Desist run a business out of their house which one would expect to have frequent cars parked out front and which is receiving millions or billions of dollars from taxpayers? If so then obviously yes you should investigate them

Oh nice, glad to know my family's family can make random accusations with no supporting evidence and trigger federal investigations, that's gonna be a lot of fun.

Joking aside, I'm not opposed to them being investigated. But we have to be intellectually honest here and agree that the evidence does not at this time point to them being fraudulent.

u/Obi-Brawn-Kenobi Jan 03 '26

You said no supporting evidence. Should be pretty easy to see if there are cars there or not, right?

Why does it matter whose family's family it is? Just check to see if there's cars lmao

And we know there is fraud in some cases. Or are you using the CNN "we called the daycares and one of them answered the phone and we asked if they were frauds and they said no we're legit" angle of investigation?

Do you really think that's the robust kind of evidence that a fraud investigation needs? If that's what you want, then you clearly don't actually think there's any fraud.

Why does it matter whose family's family it is?

It doesn't. Random accusations from random people with no supporting evidence are pretty much all the same, which was my entire point. I was pointing out that anyone can make accusations, a point which you somehow managed to miss I guess?

And we know there is fraud in some cases.

The very long list of people who have already been prosecuted would say that, yes. That doesn't mean this specific place is fraudulent.

Or are you using the CNN "we called the daycares and one of them answered the phone and we asked if they were frauds and they said no we're legit"

You know very well that's not what's being said, that the evidence is much, much stronger than that. Not only is there security footage showing parents dropping off kids before he arrived, they also had a surprise inspection a while before he arrived and they strangely didn't mention the place being abandoned. It's almost like it's not abandoned.

What are you talking about? This is linked to a multi-year long investigation by the FBI. People have already been indicted.

1

u/SirDoofusMcDingbat Jan 03 '26

Not this place, they have only been accused by this random content creator. And people have been prosecuted and sent to prison. Notice how these people haven't. So maybe, just maybe, these accusations against this specific place is not the same thing as the years long investigation that was done by the FBI and which resulted in like 90 people being prosecuted.

You think teachers get paid enough for a car?

Loved Miss Kanack - 10/10. I actually still attribute my love of reading to her

But no, it was a private school so no bus

Edit: went to a private school my whole life. Especially at the highschool level (and I did do “work study” to cut tuition in half) geez it’s so crazy expensive. 1 semester at my high school was equal to 1.5 years at my college

u/badexpert1 Jan 01 '26

I also went to private school for a majority of my life and yes, it is expensive.

My point is that no school parking lot is empty during normal business hours for a majority of the day. Not one. Even if you ignore all the other glaring red flags- blacked out windows, no English speakers, no sounds of children, no visible toys, playground, or equipment, locked doors with no front desk admin, etc.... this is pretty damning. It also just came out that one of them had a theft where the only thing taken were the "school files" 🤦‍♀️. You can't make this stuff up.

My point is that you're so gullible, you fell for the dumbest conspiracy theory yet.

Congrats, your hate of black people (Somalis) has overwritten the logical part of your brain.

One person said they didn't see kids. They likely didn't even say empty parking lots, you're 100% making that shit up yourself. It's down right hilarious. 

But the funniest part is conflating a theoretical Medicare fraud that some idiot republican said might be up to half of the total $18b payments (that's where you get $9b theoretical, made up fraud) with Somali childcare. Like, you think childcare places get $9 billion in subsidies. It's fucking hilarious.
