This is WA state department of children, youth and families website
if you will notice on the website about 30% of all the centers list Somali as the spoken language inside of the state. if you go through them for any amount of time you can separate
Somali and English speaking for "languages spoken"
(you can change "languages" in the filter section at the bottom left)
Cross reference the ones that post their address into google street view
you will notice the English only speaking ones even if it is a house will post a picture of inside of their house and have the LLC or name as "at this location"
after 1 hour of looking through the Somali spoken addresses that were posted for childcare. they are ALL were houses and i only saw 1 post what was at that location - listed as a business with at least 1 picture of the inside ( every one is posted as Early achievers which is a requirement to get tax dollars )
I did not look through the English-speaking ones as thoroughly but the 15 or so I did go through that had addresses were either large building with childcare written on top / had a sign out front / or posted the business at the address
I'm interested to hear your guys thoughts
This scandal is probably in every Blue state in America. Just in different forms.
And not just Somali's doing it.
No, but i read somewhere that part of how the Somali fraud got so widespread is they accused people of racism. Also having your day care centers primary (or only) language being a fairly uncommon one probably helps filter out people who might report the fraud, as there would be less potential clients.
There are a large number of "minority" ethnic groups who can use the exact same tactics and strategies. Muslims in particular, regardless of nation of origin, can do this exact thing with the exact results. And, similar scams can also be much more complex, and totally legal, if done smartly. For instance, some Jewish synagogues get government funding for their security, since they are supposedly high risk terrorism targets (the numbers do not actually support this assumption), and the synagogues engage in nepotism and use this money with security companies that they own. In such a case, the security company can be completely real and above boards- employees, corporate filings, taxes properly paid, all totally legal. They don't take the entire grant amount like these Somali daycares, but they directly profit from taxpayer paid grants to them which honestly they don't really need.
Invite in pirates, get pirate problems.
My bet is this...money that was used for this....is now in the DNC funds to fund their next candidates. I mean they cant use that crypto guy anymore and USAID is in the trash....so they have to find other ways...
I have zero idea why you were downvoted. A blue city didn't apparently have any inspections or oversight for billions of dollars? Is it really so crazy to guess some of that came back the Dems way?
The amazing thing in the dem reddit is that theres no evidence of fraud. Jesus
