Now might be an excellent time to remind everyone that the evidence of demand-side benefit fraud in the US (i.e., from claimants) is incredibly weak. While benefit fraud happens, in health and welfare policy sectors, it's overwhelmingly coming from supply-side (organizations, contractors, etc.)

44 states and the federal government are now suing property management companies over their use of an AI pricing tool to raise rents.

Utah is the latest state to join the lawsuit accusing over 600 corporate landlords of using RealPage software to form an illegal rent cartel.

Republicans passed a ~$2 trillion tax cut for the rich and added $7 trillion to the national debt under Trump. And we're supposed to believe they're risking a shutdown because they care about "fiscal responsibility"?

It's all just a game to them.

It's inevitable that the usual high profile dickheads will show up here, but how about DON'T repost/hatefollow them with shouty rage, this time. How about just block. All they want is engagement. Lozza (frinstance) won't care that you hate him. He loves that stuff. Just ignore them. They hate that.
