I figured out how to retire in ‘26.
I will be opening a Somali daycare in Minnesota.

Are the feds going to do the needful if Timmy refuses to?
The guy who started realnewsnobullshit was on...Shawn Ryan I think? a month or two ago. He did a bit of a dive into bots and "influencers" on social media. Bots are definitely pushing paid narratives. Who knows how much that influences an election given our near obsession with echo chambers but bots are out there. I won't hazard a guess on their efficacy in past elections.

There was a leftist group where one brave soul actually tried talking sense and asking people to vet the news to make sure it's real, unedit and not biased or opinionated, and she was getting flak for it. By both real and fake person's in this group.
Something definitely needs to be done. Can a crackdown on bots be had? Remove AI from social media, or at least make it for things that aren't division based and rage baiting? Develop an algorithm to discover doom scrolling and put other things on there instead of echo chambers?
I am definitely suspect of anyone with a digital creator or influencer on their page, and posting absolute toxic garbage.

I was thinking about how we're zapping Narco-terrorist boats. How about we start zapping some of these Chinese fishing ships?
It's funny how the right were pissed off with Mexicans/Latinos but now it's changed to Somalians. Lol
Still hate the southern invaders

It's nothing to do where they are from. The Latinos south of here who came here legally are some of the most hard working people, and they end up having kids who were taught these values and ended up more USA in values than the whites and "natives" with Asian DNA whom aren't indigenous at all using their own arguments against them whom were born and raised here.
I can't get angry at them for wanting a better life. Those trying to sneak in and keeping the stereotypes alive are the ones we don't like.
And I have always disliked Somalians here, nothing they had done was to make a better life, it was to to get free things and be crooks.

I never, ever liked or trusted most Somalis I've met. They remind me of the sand people from Star Wars.

Our country brief said there was no Somali phrase for "thank you ", that told me all I needed to know.

My wife used to call my AK's a Star Wars gun because she thought all Star Wars guns were trash can guns. So whenever I had one out for whatever reason and she was nearby or in the house, I'd come out naked with one and an LBE, (before we had a daughter of course) and raise it like in Red Dawn but instead of shouting "wolverines" I'd make instead sand people noises and pump it up and down.
She would always bust out laughing and having to pee soon afterwards.
There are tens of thousands of Somalians where I am from and I've interacted with hundreds of them over the years. Almost all my interactions with them have been cordial. They tend to be polite and family oriented, there are a few ghetto ones. Neighborhoods that used to be ghetto are full of Somalians and African immigrants and violent crime and thefts seem to be lower from them. If I'm in the hood late and I see Africans or Somalians, I'm not on guard and never had to worry if that makes any sense. Even the younger dudes. Not to say there's never been an African robber or carjacker, but it's less prominent.
However, there have been plenty of Somalian scammer groups of all kinds. I remember hearing about gift card thefts from an old cop buddy. Medicaid fraud is definitely in their wheelhouse. A ton of Somalian "medical transport" drivers are all over, their own private schools too.
I'm not going to throw too much hate at them because even though the fraud seems widespread, most seem honest working people. If mostly collecting welfare? I don't know, I'll wait for official stats.
