It’s good to be a member of the Austin Homeless Industrial Complex. Not only do you get to rake off graft for luring drug-addicted transients to town, you also get to rake off graft to clean up the resulting mess.
Item #23 on this week’s Austin City Council agenda allocates another $20 million to the Homeless Industrial-Complex to clean up dozens of dangerous homeless encampments around the city.
Item 23 (link) says it’s critical for these camps to get cleaned up, since they pose “a great degree of health, safety, and fire risks.”
Austin Water also needs cleanup services on “environmentally sensitive areas of the wildlands” due to toxic waste and debris contaminating the watershed.
Snip.
One of the three companies who won this big fat $20 million contract – P Squared Services, LLC – is the most suspicious, sketchy and (almost certainly) fraudulent company I’ve encountered during my three years of reading through these absurd Austin City Council agenda items.
Just look at the 11 bids and financial docs for Item 23 (link).
You will shake your head in anger and disbelief, asking yourself:
How could Austin Finance be so incompetent, lazy and irresponsible? Is something more sinister going on? Is this a case of internal corruption or criminal behavior? No sane person would make these decisions.
Nah. Austin City Council. Corrupt and incompetent is the default setting.
Meet P Squared Services, LLC
Major red flags pop up across the galaxy when you investigate this highly suspicious, brand new company called P Squared Services.
P Squared Services has:
No internet presence No website No clients No experience There’s overwhelming evidence that P Squared Services, LLC is almost certainly up to something nefarious and possibly illegal.
The major question is whether it’s an inside job and who made the final decision to funnel money to these frauds.
P Squared Services is a Texas Domestic Limited-Liability Company that was formed in Smithville on November 4, 2022.
The business address for P Squared Services is an exact match for the residential address of the two married co-owners:
Brandon Keith Pietsch Kristina Dawn Pietsch So the married co-owners of P Squared Services are running this mysterious business out of their HOUSE.
And this “business address” is actually a residential, single family home with zero visible equipment, tools or supplies for cleaning up industrial waste.
P Squared Services, LLC 607 Ash Street Smithville, TX 78957
Let’s look at the google street view photos of their business headquarters / house.
See if you can notice:
Empty beer cans on front lawn Tipped-over cooler by porch Unfinished projects like doors and window screens that were never installed. So they’re hiring someone to clean up a homeless camp whose house looks like a homeless camp.
The conclusion: “I’m almost positive that P Squared Services LLC is a fake, phony, money laundering scam.”
Indeed.
That seems to be the driving purpose behind all Austin homeless policies…
I’m in Texas. Austin is literally the San Franfeces of our state. It is in the ONLY county which did not approve our marriage amendment about 15 years ago (76% voter approval overall.)
Austin was woke early on around the 80’s because of its liberal to the core university there…. but my goodness as soon as those massive corporations moved in it turned into a freaking sewer full of floating 💩!! This is the LA and San Francisco armpit of Texas! Little by little, inch by inch, those evil communists swamp creatures are consuming Texas alive! Texas is going the way of Colorado!😢
Not only ut but all of the civil servants whose livelihoods depend on the state government.
If you know the history of Austin, there were bumper stickers on cars back in the 70’s and 80’s that read “Keep Austin Weird”. It has attracted hippie types, artists and musicians for years. But yes, it has become Portlandia on the Colorado.
About 20 years ago, there was a mayorial race. A bunch of hippies and t.u. students (same) got a homeless guy on the ballot.
We wanted to move to Austin — it has many nice features! But it is a little Soviet communist political cell in the heart of Texas. A real shame. It would be wonderful if it could be cleaned up
It was fun once. Not going again.
Austin is the biggest Texas cesspool. Too many RATS.
Austin is little California
