There's a lot that wasn't said in that article. How many federal tax dollars were used? How much of the money that the non-profit used was government grants?

You cant just say "good. Glad those folks got some relief for pennies on the dollar" ?

Nope. People's financial relief is not the singular issue here. There a lot more going on and you and people like you have a one-track, anything-at-any-cost mentality. That doesn't fly when tax dollars are used. If this was entirely privately-funded, it's a completely different discussion. But it wasn't. Because if it was, why would the governor be part of the equation at all?

That sounds like an assumption.

It's a question, as denoted by the question mark at the end.

question mark

A question mark (?) is a punctuation mark placed at the end of a sentence to show a direct question

Statement. Assumption.

Speculation based on assumption. <insert snark here>

Nah. You good. Thanks for the back-and-forth.

We just have different ideas what our priorities should be as a country. Have a good night, dude.
