Fox News: DOGE reveals bizarre findings of unemployment insurance claims survey: 'This is so crazy'
A recent survey by the Department of Government Efficiency revealed that thousands of unemployment insurance claims were made by individuals with implausible birthdates, including 24,500 claims from people over 115 years old and 28,000 from children aged 1 to 5. Claims also included individuals with future birthdates.
Elon Musk highlighted these findings, criticizing the lack of checks in the system that allowed such fraudulent claims. He emphasized the absurdity of payments made to individuals who are either deceased or not yet born, calling it a significant waste of taxpayer dollars.
The Economist: Zombie politics: how Dead Man dominates British politics
British politics is heavily influenced by an imagined voter, often referred to as a "dead man," who constrains party actions. This phantom voter prevents Labour from aligning closely with the EU and keeps the Conservatives from appealing to their traditional southern base, creating a climate of fear for both parties.
The existence of this voter impacts key decisions, including Labour's approach to globalization and the Conservatives' reluctance to address issues in their former strongholds. The political landscape remains precarious, with parties hesitant to alienate this symbolic electorate.
