Outrage over NYC’s migrant debit card handouts that could net NJ company $1.8M in profits: ‘Taxpayers are getting fleeced’
Story by Craig McCarthy • 12h


The New Jersey start-up that snagged a controversial no-bid $53 million contract with New York City to give migrants prepaid debit cards could net a whopping $1.8 million in profits by taking a cut of the funds doled out to asylum seekers, The Post has learned.

The one-year deal signed by Mayor Eric Adams’ administration and tech finance company Mobility Capital Finance — first reported by The Post last month — is now raising eyebrows with some members of the City Council, who noted the agreement didn’t undergo the usual competitive bidding process.
 
“Something’s wrong with this deal, and taxpayers are getting fleeced,” Councilman Bob Holden (D-Queens) said Thursday when provided with details of the contract.

“These no-bid emergency contracts and profit-driven bids are out of control, and we need to reevaluate how we do business as a city,” he added.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Hey, it's New York.

Just about whenever there's "a deal", SOMEONE is going to get fleeced.
Welcome to the party, pal.
