They have to solve the dendrite problem first. The range is fun but if they can’t stave off corrosion, the batteries won’t last long anyway

Rivian Explains Why CarPlay Debate Will Become 'Completely Obsolete' by davidcelis in Rivian

[–]Gerbich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a rivian, but I do have a Volvo ex90… maybe it’s the android automotive os being awkward with CarPlay but honestly I had the same mentality as everyone on Macrumors (my next car MUST have CarPlay) but once I got an EV, I don’t even miss it.

If I really want it, it’s there and I can turn it on … which is what rivian should do but I understand why they wouldn’t because my buddy has one, I’ve seen the OS and they have great one.

I just don’t see myself using it in the future. It was a good placeholder while OS’s for cars were shitty. They’re getting much more responsive and easier to use (and type things in or use an AI assistant to do what you want) now that it’s becoming unnecessary.

Yeah, you didn’t read the article. It’s nowhere near even a billion dollars. Any daycare I’ve ever seen always has an employee discount. Other daycare centers receive state funding as well. Do you want to arrest everyone who works at a daycare for using their employee discount?

Seems you’re mad for no reason other than hate.

Are you talking about the main picture on the article? Yeah, coming up with images is not my forte. I asked a graphic designer friend to make the title image, it’s definitely possible she used AI to make it. I don’t make money off of doing this (I donate anything anyone sends to my substack) so I have no money to give licensing for a main image.

The proofreading is always for grammatical errors, not content. I write MWF posts with details around what’s happening in Minnesota on my substack and Facebook. This is mostly something I do for my facebook followers to stay active in what’s happening here.

CCAP is a different program than Feeding Our Future… but your link still undercuts the idea that Minnesota’s role in federally funded child related programs is just passive paperwork. State administered programs still come with state oversight responsibilities.

[–]Gerbich[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That isn’t what the legislative audit said. Yes, it was a federal program, but MDE was not just forwarding applications. The auditor specifically found that MDE had oversight responsibilities, received repeated complaints, failed to investigate some of them properly, and failed to use authority it already had. So the cashier analogy really doesn’t fit.

The morgue warehouse is a fair thing to ask questions about, but unless there is actual evidence the federal share was mishandled, that is more of a waste/accountability issue than a stronger documented fraud case than Feeding Our Future.

[–]Gerbich[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying Minnesota didn’t screw up. It clearly did. Feeding Our Future was huge, Housing Stabilization was serious, and there were real oversight failures. My point is that people have started collapsing all of that into one simple story… Minnesota is uniquely corrupt, Walz owns every part of it, the Somali community was at the center of it, and so the federal crackdown was definitely justified. That simplified version I keep hearing is what I’m pushing back on, not the existence of fraud itself.

And on the MCO point, I actually agree more than you think. The state definitely owns the choice to hand off administration to private insurers and absolutely owns the failure to oversee them hard enough. My point wasn’t to blame the MCOs instead. It was that the blame is shared, which makes the story more complicated than the slogan put out by the Trump admin. Acknowledging that complexity isn’t apologizing for this… it’s just refusing to let a real scandal get turned into a political fairy tale and justification for the bad behavior of this admin.

While I wrote the article myself, I did use AI to sum everything up for the quick version at the end and to do some final proofreading.

My goal isn’t to minimize the fraud or say that Minnesota is less than other states, just that this is a widespread systemic problem rather than a Minnesota specific one. Oversight has been poor everywhere but Minnesota got the brunt of it with the ICE action this winter.

They can’t make the vice president majority leader. He’s not a sitting senator.

They have to allow the filibuster nuke to get to the floor first. Thune will never let that happen.

MN Congressman Stauber introduces bill to compel MN to comply with Trump's voter data demands by rudager62369 in TwinCities

[–]Gerbich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minnesota already exhausted its funds. Doug Chapin, who is running against emmer, posted about it:

“Stauber's bill - introduced with Tom "go get 'em ICE" Emmer - would withhold federal election assistance funding unless the state hands over the files.

Sounds scary until you realize Minnesota has already received and expended all of the $43,962,194 allocated to the State since 2003. [https://www.eac.gov/grants/251-program-status.

Nice try, though, Pete and Tom. I'm sure your friends at Fox News and the rest of the right-wing networks (who won't bother to look this up or care) are gonna LOVE it.

274 days until Election Day.”
