This is reverse discrimination.

Quit the griping. It's fun to spend other people's money. I was at the convention center yesterday and there must have been at least 6 cars parked along the fire lane with nobody in them. I guess the rules are meant only for those that do not work in Government as the normal fee to recover your car from a tow in OC is $450.

This is about starting and running a small business. Capitalism 101. Some folks making stupid comments could perhaps learn a thing or two about business!

You want to start a small business? First thing you need to do is get out of Md. They've never been very "friendly" to my small business.

You make it sound simple. I worked with 8a contractors for 10 years in the Federal space. These programs are about special contracting opportunities and low interest loans to people based on what they are not about any special skills or abilities. Contracting to certain race, gender, etc. is mandated and much business is simply laundered through them.

I'm doing excellent. But you being so INEPT. Your confusing TRUTH with HATE. That's what you shorebillies do. Don't look at the TRUTH. Just try to belittle someone for telling it. So long LOSER. You won't be able to retire. Unless you continue to suck on the government TITS.
