    Hopefully it actually happens. This whole thing was a disgusting misuse of government power against vulnerable individuals. It’s the type of thing you would expect from the Mafia, the fact that it was our govenment is shameful.

      The true magic is as always, hiding in plain sight. Those in power going after the most vulnerable is a textbook definition of corruption. Yet it is called anything but corruption. Tangentially , a government letting the mafia go after the vulnerable is just as corrupt too. Looking at you gam(bl)ing, alcohol, fast food, snacks, soft drinks advertisements.

    It will be interesting if the NCAC will be able to investigate this: there is no evidence that they knew it was illegal when they implemented it, only that they found out and failed to take action.

    Possibly gross negligence? Definition a violation of the spirit of office, but that’s not a criminal offence.

    The worst part is that there’s a significant portion of the country that will vote right MORE due to this coming to light. Ive heard so many people in this country say that the poor, disabled and homeless should just be left to die rather than give them handouts. Often from people of privelidge and power.
