  1. just noticed it's trademarked lol
  2. gfy wells btw...he has his own logo:
  3. i think we are talking about two different things, cowboy. i didn't pick up on your role earlier. in reality all of the situations you and i described are common practices.
  4. Maybe they have to fill the minority quota and your bid is higher than the whitey who got the whitey avail contract. Likely you got out-maneuvered in the backroom deal. Sometimes these contracts are awarded with specific guidelines that make no sense. It could be that one of the 200 questions you answered, one of the ones which you thought were benign, actually disqualified your bid.
  5. wrong and wrong. they are all shitty contractors. that's why they are going after govt contracts.
  6. That wouldn't surprise me. Trout doesn't seem like the "get max money equals respect" type of guy. I can also see him going to the Yanks or Phills since Arte already balked on the lifetime contract Trout's camp asked for initially. I doubt money will be in his top three reasons for his next contract because he will already be financially secure and the dollars will be silly no matter where he chooses to play.
  7. They may exist but I have not seen these "credits". I have seen specific outreach and a reserved percentage of work allocated to minority-owned businesses which isn't a bad thing. I consulted with a few business to land govt business but white business were not penalized and minority businesses did not get credits. Overall, the process to qualify for, bid and service govt accounts are a nightmare. Never again. Politicians need to keep the vocal minority groups/associations happy so these programs exist. You get a few minority-owned businesses in the door who really can use the break but mostly it's the well-connected, both white and minority businesses, who get the contracts.

  9. It's not how bad her life experiences are, it's how easy life is these days. People have to find something to fight against/for; it's how humans have made it this far. You have food, shelter, entertainment, medical care, cell phones without any struggle. That excess energy now goes into making new apps or becoming a SJW. She obviously not a coder.
  10. I have to admit, I wish I can speak 70s jive. Blacks are just cooler.
  11. And some say Americans only speak one language.
  12. I only speak 90s-to-mid-00s jive. That movie scene could have been Chinese to me in terms of comprehension.
  13. I sometimes text "fo shizzle" and "coolio" instead of "sounds good".
