TIL there’s something called fraud tourism. Congrats, Minnesota.

Here is Walz saying that he agrees with Thompson that there was likely in excess of one billion in fraud: https://minnesotareformer.com/2025/07/28/walz-says-he-stopped-payments-to-50-of-the-largest-housing-stabilization-providers/ When do we get to stop calling it “relatively small?” Ok, maybe it’s not nine billion but it’s more than one? I think it’s a problem for Walz that he can’t settle on a number. I have set doubt that fraud schemes is far beyond the scale Minnesota wanted to admit, and after a couple of programs were found to be overwhelmingly fake, I also don’t doubt that there are others out there. I don’t believe that the feds got all of it. I’ve been to plenty of communities where defrauding social programs is basically the only economic game in town. It’s not something that is beyond possibility and r the way Minnesota has handled its responsibilities is deeply embarrassing. -
I’ve stated several times I agree they feel this way. I’ve also started the article ascribes the cause of the experience that led to the feeling to one thing, DEI policies, while ignoring other factors like 66% of new communications grads being women and complaining that the hiring mirrored the grad rates and that white men weren’t hired >50%. That’s a huge disconnect from reality. I also stated that white men in tech really had it worse but more due to H1B than to DEI. So the solutions don’t just lie in killing/reforming DEI but in several other things that would actually address the problem like a bigger tax on H1B and outsourcing. Programs that help people successfully complete degree programs and skills training for the information economy, etc.

Man the A's have a really good core group of young players it's a shame they have to play in a minor league market/stadium and won't buy a few pitchers to compete and all those guys will be on different teams long before the franchise situation improves

It might be that simple. But for as well thought out we know this show is I hope there is a better answer then that (and maybe plays into free will/what it means to be human). -
That’s twice Booker got caught leaving the 3-point shooter uncontested.

Would be cool if we could make wide open 3s like they do
-
I've never seen Booker this lost on offense. And Oldacre's not playing smart D. Just a sloppy effort against a pesky team.

The roster cost is part of our advantage. This is the era we play in. It can get a hell of a lot worse.
