Those “special” businesses will team with, form JVs with, or subcontract lots of work to white owned companies. I’ve seen it throughout my career where the fed gov sets aside work for “special” companies.
And it doesn’t matter what they do to that shithole airport, it’s on my permanent no fly list. |

The work will take twice as long and cost five times more than they say.

They’ll splatter some paint on some walls, throw down some new carpet, and $2.3B will be gone.

There have been Federal and state "set aside" contracts for 8(a), minority, woman, and, veteran owned companies since the 70's at least.... I was a 1099 to more than a few and the management matters more than the cultural/sexual makeup...

The suppliers (woman & minority owned) tend to run late delivering the goods. Also very good at sending the wrong quality ( much cheaper) that was in the specks, then when a complaint is made it gets squashed by high ups. Most of the minority/ woman builders are a laugh, you name the problem they have it. What it normally turns to is they will partner up with a legitimate building contractor, who will then send good men to the project. The minority owner then just basically walks around the jobs like he/she is king shit. At that point their only job is to look important and sign the pay checks. (of course they make a lot of money being a shill) |

The moronic party that claims to support inclusion, is taking yet another step to be non-inclusive.

He transferred 51% stake to his wife rather than the 50/50 it was originally (it has to be a MAJORITY), not a single thing other than that changed... and voila. Now he is rolling in them. His wife has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the business outside of her name on the paper. What an amazing system we have. |

Both Miami Tunnel and MIA new terminal were way over costs, never on time, and many went to jail. I think the new standard will be the bridge project in baltimore, it will shatter records, all while using YOUR AND MINE $$$$$ for a local project. ****ING SCAM https://www.cbsnews.com/news/baltimo...ding-congress/ Quote:

I just reviewed FLL's 2019-2021 annual income statements.
FLL makes money even after the paper write-down for depreciation; I will assume, as most will, that the expense cover 100% of debt service. I bet my left nut, maybe my right also, that FL airports ALL make money, well except for corrupt MIA, and will also bet my kidneys that not a SINGLE airport in a liberal state makes a damn penny, even though many will have 3X the revenue of FLL. This, as with all things, is a liberal money grab, as all upgrades and maintenance at ALL airports should be covered by operating income. |

I haven't posted at CF in over a year (since my 6mos ban) but I'm tempted to post this over there for shits & giggles.
