This will come to other states soon enough.

And apparently, encyclopedia dramatica is also now defunct.

Wikipedia has an endowment big enough to sustain the site's basic maintenance, essentially forever. If donations disappeared then they would have to severely cut spending, however, I don't think it would be an existential threat.

Yeah this whole story reads like propaganda to me.

> This is the approach US population prefers.

Most of the population has very little leverage and is highly manipulated. It's the approach of a few who wield all of the power while the rest of us are either dismayed or distracted.


Niri¹ is awesome. It took quite a bit of customization when I originally installed it, however, quite a few things have improved since then. I believe that niri's out-of-the-box experience is reasonably good with the latest version. With the addition noctalia², it really feels like a complete desktop and offers the essential functionality that I'd expect from gnome or kde.

Wow, I just tried noctalia and it instantly replaced a load of brittle and stupid hacks I was relying on, what an amazing out of the box experience

Wikipedia isn’t a credible source on any topic but especially political ones.


How about the 148 references that article points to?

Some things are not mundane and some comparisons to Nazis are actually appropriate and prescient.


That was the only fraud. The rest is entirely fictitious.


How exactly would non-citizens, who do not have social security numbers or other valid identifying documents, receive medicaid? It's difficult enough for qualified people to get it. It would seem fairly difficult to pass the registration process without having a valid SSN. Furthermore, if someone was able to fraudulently sign up - say by using a stolen identity, then wouldn't the data in the system look valid and therefore not really show up on an audit?

And as the GP pointed out, it makes no sense to put the president's paramilitary agency¹ in charge of such an audit, rather than qualified auditors, perhaps from the HHS² OIG³.

"who do not have social security numbers" how would one prove or disprove this assumption?


Isn't identity theft a problem in the US? Especially because something which was not meant to be used as ID is used as one (the SSN)?


There are provisions in federal law which allow non citizens to receive federal Medicaid dollars in some circumstances.
