One misperception is that the program allows the city to give out just $50 million to migrants..
That’s not the contract the city signed — at all.

Most importantly: the $53 million headline figure is not the money that migrants will receive during the pilot.

This is the number that the vendor, MoCaFi, potentially will receive as its fee for services.

As the contract document clearly and explicitly states, over the year’s term, “in exchange for [MoCaFi’s] . . . performance of the services, the city shall pay to the contractor a total amount not to exceed $53 [million]

The story just kept getting more and more hilarious.. i recommend you read it; १९/२/२४, ६:५५ PM

In the Russian Revolution, the liberal bien pensants managed to get the Tsar to abdicate, but what ended up happening was that not just the Tsar’s legitimacy disappeared, but all legitimacy and suddenly nobody cared what the so called government said, whoever was in charge. It is a very dangerous place to be.; १९/२/२४, ७:११ PM
Humperdink म्हणाले...: "On July 25, 1972, just over two weeks after the 1972 Democratic Convention, (VP candidate Thomas) Eagleton admitted the truth of news reports that he had received electroshock therapy for clinical depression during the 1960s. McGovern initially said he would back Eagleton "1000 percent". Subsequently, McGovern consulted confidentially with preeminent psychiatrists, including Eagleton's own doctors, who advised him that a recurrence of Eagleton's depression was possible and could endanger the country should Eagleton become acting president.""

He’s said it’s not worth doing ‘for the grief.’ So what if he could keep the luxury perks that he clearly enjoys without having to endure all of that grief?” Oliver asked. “We have a special offer for you tonight. We are prepared to offer you $1 million a year for the rest of your life if you simply agree to leave the Supreme Court immediately and never come back.”

Oliver then displayed a contract. “This is not a joke,” he said. “This is real. A million dollars a year until you or I die.”

Get back to me when Dementia Joe writes something like this:

“The sudden death of Alexei Navalny has made me more and more aware of what is happening in our Country. It is a slow, steady progression, with CROOKED, Radical Left Politicians, Prosecutors, and Judges leading us down a path to destruction. Open Borders, Rigged Elections, and Grossly Unfair Courtroom Decisions are DESTROYING AMERICA. WE ARE A NATION IN DECLINE, A FAILING NATION! MAGA2024.”; १९/२/२४, १०:०२ PM
Josephbleau म्हणाले...: Interesting writing from the Psmith book review site:

“it’s an iron law of history that revolutions never, ever come out of popular uprisings. The wheels of history are turned by political entrepreneurs — individuals or close-knit groups who notice ahead of everybody else that the world has changed in some fundamental way. This unstable situation where material conditions have shifted but society keeps rolling in its groove creates a sort of potential energy, like a charged electric field or a boulder perched at the top of a cliff. In the world of business we call this a market opportunity, and we admire those with the gumption to seize them. In the world of war and politics, market opportunities often look more like a forest full of dry tinder, and the would-be entrepreneur needs an additional quality, fanaticism, that enables him to calmly light a match and flick it over his shoulder.”; २०/२/२४, ३:४१ AM
gadfly म्हणाले...: Lem the artificially intelligent said...
So, the diary has never been "debunked"?

So it appears that Lem the unintelligent artificial thinks that Biden's "groping" as in laying hands on women is worse than Trump's sexual abuse as determined in the E. Jean Carroll trial and his engaging in extramarital sex as he did with stripper Stormy Daniels and Playmate Karen McDougal.

"Not debunked" also means "never proven", BTW.; २०/२/२४, ४:२२ AM
Jaq म्हणाले...: It's amazing how well the Navalny psy-op is working. The man died in a Russian prison, sure, but he took money from the US to run in Russian elections, and hid the fact, and we wouldn't know it except for Wikileaks. He was a, well, we are supposed to "not see" what he was. He advocated publicly for genocide of Muslims within the Russian Federation. But still people treat him like some kind of widow. His wife is already being propped up as an opposition candidate to Putin, at a NATO meeting, where she promised that "Putin will be eliminated soon." Can you imagine a US presidential candidate who announced their candidacy at a meeting between Russia, China, and Iran, and made a speech were she said "Biden will be eliminated soon"

The audacity and the success of the Navalny ploy just makes me 100% convinced that J6 was not a psy-op of opportunity, as I once believed, but a planned psy-op, as the Democrats brought home the same techniques that we have used for decades against foreign populations. This interpretation fits best with the evidence.

Once you understand these people, the world makes a lot more sense. It used to seem to me that these people were stupid, but they are not stupid, they are craven, manipulative sociopaths, almost to a man and woman, but they are not stupid; it just serves their interests for you to think that they are stupid, it avoids them having to explain themselves.

The only "evidence" against the idea that these people are not doing the same things to our rights that despots have done throughout history is some misplaced faith that they are decent people because they are Americans, magic dirt. Well, there are 350 million Americans, and 1% of us are sociopaths, 35 million. This percentage is fixed across all populations in the world.; २०/२/२४, ४:२५ AM
Jaq म्हणाले...: Josephbleu, there seems to be some question begging going on in that statement.; २०/२/२४, ४:२७ AM
Jaq म्हणाले...: "Four days before of Navalny's death, Chichvarkin actually announced his death ... .'the opposition is divided and will not rally without tragic news from prisons.'"

Chichvarkin is Navalny's wife's boyfriend.

Josephbleau म्हणाले...: By “begging the question”I guess you mean that the statement “it’s an iron law of history that revolutions never, ever come out of popular uprisings.” Is assumed to be true a priori. Yes, but I believe it. Lenin, Mao, Castro, Hitler, KGB and CIA have authored most of the revolutions I can think of. I think even the French rev. and the 1776 us one were lead by philosophical elites and not peasant uprisings but perhaps not.

I like the writing as a Rorschach test, who is the fanatic? Trump, Beiden, Obama, Fanni, Putin? Pick the one you dislike and fit them into the mold.

From my debate days in hs question begging was defined as using a proposition that has not been proven, but I only quoted part of the article, there was more discussion of the iron law quoted, just to explain.; २०/२/२४, ५:५२ AM

Awaiting the correction from the hopelessly Dumb Lefty named Mark who is still in complete and utter thrall to the 8 year running Russia Russia Russia hoax narratives even after Elon single-handedly crushed the russki commercial space launch business and delivered Starlink capabilities for Ukraine military operations.

Josephbleau म्हणाले...: “A Brockton High School (Mass) committee requests National Guard to police the high school. Force integration?”

But the Mass Air National Guard is too busy posting secret documents on the internet.

I hope that the school board has cleared this intervention with the most powerful authority in the US, the teachers union. The Guardsmen will need at least, to get four years of college in an ed department and be licensed teachers, then start paying union dues. ( Chicago used to be run by the mafia outfit, now it’s run by the teachers union.)

After you defund all the civil police the only thing left is to have soldiers stand outside the school with M 16s. And if they yell at a kid for selling drugs they will be sued immediately, because according to democrats, no one is above the law.; २०/२/२४, ९:५१ AM

Jaq म्हणाले...: "begging was defined as using a proposition that has not been proven"

No, it's not answering the question in dispute by avoiding a key point in your response. Sure, the people taking advantage of the masses dissatisfaction are the "entrepreneurs" as you call them, but if the masses did not become dissatisfied, restless, and lose belief in the legitimacy of their rulers, well, they acted first. It's hard to make a revolution when people are satisfied with the way things are.

I have no idea who will come along and take advantage of a complete loss of faith in the legitimacy of the US government, if that happens, but I am just pointing out that if it does happen, it creates a pre-revolutionary condition.; २०/२/२४, १०:१३ AM

“Begging the Question - Definition and Examples
2020-11-03
Definition

Begging the Question (literal translation from latin petitio principii) is a logical fallacy where the premise on which the conclusion is based, is already assumed to be true. This allows one to make an argument without sufficient evidence. The term begging the question is first credited to Aristotle as one of the thirteen fallacies listed in De Sophisticis Elenchis, the first work to address the subject of deductive reasoning.”; २०/२/२४, २:५९ PM
