It's no longer enough to just work hard and hope life is fair. My father won a gov contract because he was a minority business owner and veteran operating in a hud zone, so why not me?

Your daddy failed you. He was a business owner with a gov contract, but he obviously didn't set you on the right path because here you are so full of ***** and vinegar. Sorry you failed man. Government ain't gonna make it better for you. So sad. Up to you to get over it. Or not. Your life... go advocate for your reparations.

I think soon Bellingham is also getting another police chief of color. The other candidates didn't fit the bill.

What color are you if I may ask? I think maybe a like pink from to much sun.

You don't need feel good government money....you need a life and self dependency. No one owns you a damn thing especially reparation.

Remember when the Vikings raided England? I’m still in financial constraints from that oppression and have been deeply impacted. Can I get reparations too? I can probably come up with more stuff, how far back can we go in this?

I don’t know why anyone is trying to talk sense to this troll posting - which seems to be about trying to drum up a controversy rather than anything else.

OP - Go get your reparations! Who’s stopping you? Good luck!

The government needs to LOWER taxes, reduce welfare, stop sending so much money overseas, and spend less on healthcare through preventive healthcare.

In some states, you’re right, the “free market” is so far left, approaching socialism as each day passes, that is definitely much harder to be a business owner today. But you’d have a completely different experience starting a business in something that’s “regressive” as WA, then you would in say, FL. My brother started a business during COVID, and his state government (SC) knew not to encroach on his right to run a business through overbearing restrictions.

If you want change, it’s not about “reparations” and “ubi”, it’s about electing officials that will remove government restrictions, not force a disastrous minimum wage (see: Seattle), lower taxes, and politicians that wouldn’t even think about closing your business because apparently you can get sick in a local coffee shop but you’re just fine shopping at Target…

Business boomed in many states during COVID, and failed as well in many states too. This shows you what state is for you and what state is against you. Tennessee did a LOT better than California this past year, the difference in growth isn’t even close.

Because the freemarket economy is going away and may not come back for a long time. Wall st is going for broke and lobbyists are just looting what they can while they can. You have Blackstone fixing the housing market, all criminal. I just think it's too far gone and lowing taxes etc would be too little too late.

That's great about your brother. I haven't given up plans for business, just tweaking them now. I own properties and plan to get my RE license to take that a step further.

I'm east indian, scots-irish, italian, german, french, welsh, and navajo.

If the politicians can have feel good government money, then I could as well. Many people owe me and I'm going to collect.
