And it’s not just any private company. These are companies who satisfy the racial/gender quotas imposed by the state so that becomes one more way to consolidate your political base.
I’m telling you, leftists are so far ahead of GOP in this patronage scheme it’s unreal. GOP grifters have to sell lifelock and gold to fleece their base. Dems just fleece the taxpayer and award the spoils to their clients (unions, NGO-industrial complex, etc.).
I read a stat that 65% of all black women employment comes from the federal government. Unemployable anywhere you have real accountability, but with cushy benefits and pensions in the government. With dependency like this, is there any wonder why they are permanent Dem voters?

We can call this type of scheme “La sombrita corruption.” The entire Dem establishment is one huge La Sombrita.
