It is not as simple as "hello, yes, we have 200 kids attending 5 days a week for 5 hours each at $30 per hour, this is our bank account number, kthxbai". We get inspected by a couple of different bodies. We get surprise inspected/mini-audited and we damn well better have all our ducks in a row. If it turned out "why no, there aren't 200 kids attending 5 days a week for 5 hours each", we'd be slapped down in a hot minute, the excess funding would be clawed back, and we might get shut down for good measure.
I was wondering about this, thanks. I only found one license that didn't have a record of a violation. There also appears to be an increase in recorded violations the past two years compared to 2022-2023, although that's a glancing judgment. The licenses suggest they receive regular inspections if one doesn't think they are fraudlent. MN DHS claims it has categories of violations with different severity, and one could infer this from the descriptions of the violations on the licenses. It does appear like inspectors are liberal in documenting violations, but individual remedies are possibly unverified and consequences lax.
The public part of these inspections look like they are as well documented or better than food safety inspections. That doesn't mean they are taken seriously. It would make sense to me that the inspectors are cover your ass on the documentation, but lax on enforcement until a problem becomes a risk. I did not see a "center is registered for 90 kids and only 3 are present" violation.
As @hydroacetylene says this is the normalized, machine politics type of fraud. Yeah, if you really really want to you can technically call this fraud, but this is the cost of doing business. There might be more licensed daycare slots in Somali run childcare businesses than there are small Somali children in the Twin Cities* area. Maybe that could be improved, but mostly it is perceived as a good thing.
Honestly, now this is all I can remember about Vivek's culture warring. Sad!
I want to crush pro-black racial spoil systems, salt the earth so they never return, and I'll take any ally anywhere to accomplish it.
How do you feel about pro-import the world to compete with your children? Maybe no slots at our top research institutions should go to Americans who are American, but this will translate into a better America via culture. Then again, what if this were but a guise to continue importing the rest of the world to compete with your roofer's kids, too? Same old, same old.
I agree with a significant creedal or ideological element in the American spirit. I also don't believe I'm opposed to America, the nation and its people, improving in some way. I agree that America should try to brain drain places where or when appropriate. Yet many people before Vivek have said they want to brain drain the world of its genius and that being American is something more than blood, soil, or whatever fairy dust is in the air. Others have made defenses of certain visas or programs as important or valuable things for the nation. Had he made a limited defense of his preferred program he might been booed but forgotten. Instead, he said we Americans must change because of and motivated by a specific, topical visa discourse. Not the nationality that needs to change, but the culture-- for the race with China. Nobody bought it as, in my opinion, they shouldn't have. They still shouldn't.
Say what you will about black Americans, but at least they've spilled blood for the country. That's not something adequate software engineers are going to do even if we double our efforts or import them wholesale. Not even if they did improve the culture.
Ah-ha! I rambled on about something like this in a recent thread. In hindsight it was foolish of me to not consider the Skyrim modding scene was doing something, because of course they were. Thank you kind former lurker.
Link for me for later SkyrimNet does it all with an in-process DLL. Impressive.
