This morning, the Biden administration announced initiatives designed to close the racial wealth gap https://t.co/nMP2LbIBWY

The administration is also planning to increase the share of federal contracts that go to “small disadvantaged businesses” to 50% over the next five years. The White House says that will provide an additional $100 million to those businesses.
I’m glad I’m getting out of contracting. I have no desire to play the identity politics game to get money to do work for the woke military.
I know all about “well, just put the company in your wife’s name” that some contractors do. But it’s insulting and demeaning to have to play those sorts of games where you hide behind windows dressing to do a job.
The defense contracting world is going to be depopulated by skilled people who don’t want to jump through racist hoops to do a job.
This government is going to destroy everything great about America before they are trough.
I didn’t mind so much working for a woman owned company, actually run by her husband. What got to me was working for a company subcontracted to a “minority owned” company to clean up the mess made by the prime contractor, without being able to admit that’s what we were doing.
Once again, a toddler level of intellect.
Instead of actually fixing the reasons for racial disparity, they instead tear down the successful.
Equality is not about building people up, that takes effort. it is about tearing people down, that is much easier.
Today’s WSJ has an editorial describing some court defeats of the Small Business Administration, which attempted to give WuFlu relief money only to non-whites, or to give them priority (i.e., a first shot at a limited pool of funds). In two separate courts those policies were struck down as law breaking racism.
What BS. It’s what they do now with minority contracting.
Only thing that changes is a minority gets a grift off the top.
More than likely one of their buddies gets the grift part of the contract.
Like what happened in Zimbabwe. Mugabe stole all the land from the ‘foreigners’ (iow whites) and gave it to his cronies who had no clue how to farm. Then followed decades of famine.
