It’s the pesky redskins this time for a change. They must have been taking lessons from the somalis and the ukrainian diplo-mafia.
Assholes that take/have taken advantage of the Biden and/or the Bunghole administration for ANY type of self-satisfaction and/or self-gain should be brought before the people, the patriots of America, and dealt with according to the very laws they intentionally ignored and/or flaunted.
@jellybean — Amen! But that would be less than completely fulfilling without also having the crooked pols up there with them.
p.s. flouted
When government is too big, people learn to play the system.
@Uncle Al
I totally agree, I just wanted to start with the most obnoxious, degrading, offensive POS.
To be continued soon he said! I bookmarked it
It is waaaay past time for ALL of those set-asides to end.
Ot may be a scam but probably not illegal.
It is known as WOB/MOB and it is absolutely filthy with corruption and it infests every last project that has even a dime of State or federal money funding it. That is part of the reason why one single curb ramp costs $17K and federal ADA guidelines now mandate 2/corner or 8/intersection at a cost to the taxpayer of $128K to put curb ramps around an intersection that doesn’t have them. The private sector can do them for $1,500-$2,000 each and make a profit doing them.
I’ve been in government contracting for 20 years and this is considered normal.
To add to what The Mule said; as a contractor when my business broke into government contracts, many of my competitors had woman, disabled, black, military veteran, as many of those categories as they could listed as the principal of that company. Checking those boxes gets bidder preference. The more boxes checked, the more preference.
The way to solve this is for fedgov to eliminate all preferences. There is so much graft in govt contracts. Even though it took years to get onto the list of contractors, I pulled the plug after two years. I wouldn’t play all the games.
peanuts compared to whats being stolen from medicare and medicaid.
May the government shutdown continue until my grandchildren grow gray.
