Comptroller rejects DocGo’s $432M contract with NYC for migrant services
NY Post ^ | 09/06/2023 | By Craig McCarthy and Olivia Land

Doc-No-Go.

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander rejected the city’s no-bid $432 million migrant housing and care contract with a medical services provider Wednesday — citing the company’s lack of expertise and other controversies.

“My office did not make this decision lightly. After a careful review, we are declining to approve this contract due to numerous outstanding concerns,” Lander said in a statement about his decision to return the Department of Housing Preservation and Development’s nine-figure deal with DocGo.

There is “little evidence” to suggest that DocGo — formerly known as Rapid Reliable Testing NY LLC — had the experience necessary to provide housing, transportation, and even social services to the thousands of migrants flooding the city each month, Lander continued.

We know where it’s coming from.

Pay attention to where it’s going.

Sounds like someone didn’t kick enough money back to Brad.

Try again, folks. But this time hire Brad’s significant other as a consultant first.

I wonder where all this money is coming from

We have a completely fiat, printed, debt-based money-supply, with supply and interest rates controlled by a central authority. so it can basically be "created" at will to fund all the social-engineering projects Fed.gov wants

Zimbabwe does the same, only their currency isn't the global reserve currency, they don't control world payment systems, they don't have 800 military bases around the world, and they printed far too much relative to the tiny size of their economy and they suffered the negative consequences far faster.

“I wonder where all this money is coming from”

Perhaps it should come from a federal money transfer tax imposed on transmissions to migrant source countries.

So, someone with connections and zero experience in providing housing and medical care will get the contract.

Then they will hire DocGo for $432m, plus an additional $8m for them to handle all the admin, logistics and day to day operations, plus an additional 10-20%(have to pad it to slip some envelops back to the decision makers) so that someone can kick back on the beach and watch the money roll in.

During the lead up to the Atlanta Olympics, 2 gigantic generators were needed for something. A company put in a bid. Bid was turned down because the company had no black employees. Small, family owned company, denied for being white.

So, what did one black entrepreneur do? He submitted a bid. Higher than the original bid. Won it. Purchased the generators from the original company and hired them to install it.

with CEO Anthony Capone boasting that the emergency deal gave the company “credibility” on a larger scale.

This Capone learned its far better to set up a racket WITH the government, than against it

Same thing is happening on building of the Buffalo Bills new $1.6 billion stadium. Only this guy was also a former Bills' football player, which makes it even more acceptable.

“DocGo — formerly known as Rapid Reliable Testing NY LLC...”

Sounds like someone “connected” in NYC first tried to cash in with a COVID testing company, and now, since that isn’t panning out, they are trying to get this “migrant housing and care” contract instead.
