We pulled off into a rest stop along I-94 and I remarked about on what appeared to be three nearly identical business buildings just over the fence on a frontage road. I asked my friend, who was familiar with all things local, about it.
He smiled and said, the first building is a business owned by a Black man, the second by a woman and the third by a Hispanic. All three are engineering and procurement firms who bid against each other for every highway project in the area. One of the three wins just about every contract.
"Do they really own them", I asked.
"On paper, yes" said my friend, "but the person who fronted them the money to own the business loaned it to them at a 0% interest rate plus a share of the profits."
"A politically well-connected white guy?," I asked.
"Man, do you catch on fast!," he replied.
The Dems are working hard to divide this nation more than ever. The races were coming together steady and surely until the Obama/Biden years. Since then it has gotten worse by leaps and bounds. What does tomorrow bring???
Illegal, wrong and unconstitutional. He is committing a crime.
Didn’t he just get the smack down from a fed court for the farm subsidies to minority owned farms?
An aquantance of mine worked for a commercial kitchen design and supply business. When he went on his own he set up his wife as President to get the WMB designation.
Job openings for Mexican women to ‘own’ companies.
Where in the Constitution does it state the government must fund small business?
Besides, what he’s doing is racist.
and if they only get crap of unfinished work the Democrats will go oh well we need to give them 100% more
remember the clinton era and the gov’t sale of the airwaves for cell phones?? The hiring as a token black guy to be the CEO of a company, or something similar, in order to get one of the contracts for cell phones, was omni-present.
sounds like reparations
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
On the other hand, if Biden’s minority contracts are based on state powers and uniquely associated state revenues that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds have stolen from the states to pay the contractors, then Trump’s red tsunami of patriot voters need to do the following.
Trump’s supporters need to primary all desperate Democratic and RINO lawmakers who don’t promise to help clean up the unconstitutional, desperate Democratic vote-buying contracts.
Spot on but it’s not RACISM when the plantation owners do it media nods.
They do anything for a vote next they will serve booze and weed and hand out $20’s at the election polls.
There goes the neighborhood.
For those that don’t know most of these contracts are bull-crap. They award a contract to a small company which is owned by a woman or a minority... and then that company just SUB-contracts it to a real company that can do the work. The ‘small woman/minority owned company’ just acts as a middle man, collects fees and files paper work (gets in the way) while the traditional contactor does the real job.
There is a way to end this crap. It is simple, well not so simple to do, but the idea is simple: massive downsizing of all government, and the elimination of numerous agencies, boards and commissions. Less government means less contracts, which equates to less racism with the side benefit of people producing goods and services in the private sector that actually benefit Americans. Overall, that is called fiscally sound freedom and liberty. Yes, less government means more freedom.
It is definitely DISCRIMINATION.
Makes perfect sense. Back in the 90’s when I owned an small IT consulting firm, defense contracts were a significant contributor to our revenue. We were too small to bid on big contracts, but would team with the likes of Lockheed Martin because they got extra points when they could show part of the work was being done by a small business. I watched that to evolve into women and minority owned businesses and was shut out. There’s a difference between color- and sex-blind small businesses from what is going on today.
The “S” shovelers...
