Legality means nothing in a banana republic

Probably is, at least until an incident like this is taken to the Supreme Court.
Amazing how they think it's OK to tax whites then tell them they need not apply when it comes to tax payer funded grants. People talk about ending qualified immunity for police officers... Why not politicians? If your legislation is deemed unconstitutional, you get to be sued personally.
Remember when Biden openly admitted his vax mandates likely were unconstitutional but by the time the case made it to the Supreme Court and they ruled on it the pandemic would mostly be over and it wouldn't matter anymore?
Biden shouldn't be able to rub two pennies together after that.

Minority set-aside contracts have been a thing for a long time.

Welcome to construction and the widespread WBE joke.

Enjoy the poor infrastructure and corruption. Serious businesses will migrate south.

Seems like the white New Yorkers need their own Yankee St. George. It would only be a matter of time until the racist Blacks followed foot. Yes. They are racist for being ok with this crap. Segregation doesn't work one way, but I guess that people that can't get ID's or use a computer wouldn't be able to figure that out.

Systemic racism is alive and well in America.

Does anybody even question the 2.3 billion? That seems like an extraordinary amount of money to me.

I deal with this MBE crap all the time on public bid jobs.
Here's the real kicker. Many of these MBE companies are simply shell companies, that get these contracts and then turn around subcontract the work to a white owned companies and take 10-15% off the top. Many times they can bid and recieve these jobs without any competition because of their MBE status.
Almost all of the WBE's are simply companies where someone puts the company in their wife's name. And she might work there essentially acting as a secretary filing papers, but she has the title of "owner".
The MBEs who don't subcontract work out, always have a white guy that works there and basically runs the show. It's hilarious how many companies call themselves MBEs that I have worked with, and yet have never met any of the minority ownership.

And it's comical because they'll only have like 1 employee. Like how is a company with 1 employee going to do a job like that. Lol.

Yes and they do nothing but add to the cost of everything because a lot of these minority contractors are shell companies that end up subcontracting to white contractors to actually do the work.

It also is worth mentioning. All your cucked out Republicans who voted for this with the infrastructure bill. That's your money the government is violently taking from you and your family, and turns around and gives it to their friends

Identify as non-white.

First sign it will be over budget AND another contractor will probably have to come in and clean up a mess...

Keep saying it.... See this summons...you are being sued.

I’m fully aware. I see it every day.

50% is probably right off the top kickbacks.
