Atlanta is in a bit of a bind with their policies directing funds to minority businesses as the current federal administration sees that as discrimination. The AJC is on top of the issue and has dropped a few nuggets.
Wow. They are facing some serious belt-tightening if they cannot feed at the federal trough. But, as the AJC reports, this affects more than just Atlanta, and some folks have banded together for some lawfare, seeking strength in numbers
And that one little phrase tells an enormous truth about what is wrong in America, particularly urban America: "their federal funds." That sense of entitlement is so pervasive, so much a part of every fiber of their existence that they are casual about it. "Of course it's OUR federal funds. Whose did you think it was?" Apparently some silly blokes thought it was federal funds, which makes it more about everyone and not just the urbanities.
You have to wonder if the bureaucrats at our beige palace aspire to the staking a claim on federal funds, no matter what the cost to the community.
