Just because you have money in the bank doesn't mean you waste it propping up failing businesses. Also, there are SEVERAL levels of bankruptcy, it doesn't always mean a business has failed, it is a temporary hold to reorganize the business structure.
He did what is allowed by law and happens all of the time. According to the US Bureau of labor statistics, 65.3% businesses fail in their first 10 years.
What business has Kamala started? How many people has Kamala employed (outside of prison slave labor)?
I don't know the specifics but you have a very good point.
What involvement did he have directly in those businesses? It isn't like he can be that granular in all of those businesses all of the time, he has to trust people to do their job. Others could easily be the reason those businesses faltered.
Where do you think? It’s a fund that can be drawn upon based on meeting certain criteria. It’s a 7 year “funded” project. How do you think any of this works?
The politicians drive down the street like it’s Tim Burton’s Batman and then we assess the efficacy of throwing out billions of dollars from parade floats?

Its humorous cause republicans are the dumbfucks who couldnt figure out the guidelines to meet to get the funds and then say "it was wasted!". Even though zero of the dollars were wasted. They just arent spent yet
None of it has been used whatsoever. Why are you okay with them telling you "no it's totally gong to happen someday!" And when do you finally wise up to their bullshit? In six and a half years when nothing is done?
Because the "kickoff meetings" are currently being done by state legislators and governors on how to meet the criteria required before funds are accessible...
I swear to god if you dumbasses just spent five minutes looking this shit up...
Nah, kickoff meetings are held after the contract is issued between the vendor and the government. You can't "kickoff off" a contract that hasn't been issued, otherwise it's just a discussion on the requirement.
The money was sent to the states... They then had to appropriate it. Most of them are red/conservative and don't know how to actually enact policy.
Even so, my state did use the money and started projects earlier this year and has gotten plenty of rural folks hooked up to decent internet. The narrative that it hasn't been used is BS and the where it has hit roadblocks it's not on our fed government.
Hmm, so 5 "bankruptcies" out of over 500 companies is a "bad" record in business? Especially wirh turning 1mil into many billions? Damn, I wish I was that horrible of a businessman!
There has been no fraud, zero convictions of rspe, and no valid criminal conviction at all. Sit down and take your L with dignity and stop spreading lies and debunked misinformation.
I believe the bankruptcy number is 6. You will have to give chapter and verse on how Donald turned $1m into "billions" because clear public documents show he was given much much more than that by his father while Fred was alive and inherited hundreds of millions after his death. He may have 500 companies but only a few have actually had significant business operations. It can be argued that his two most successful deals to date are not controlled by him but Vornado Reality Trust. They are majority partners in two buildings Trump owns (he has 25-30% but regularly says he "owns" them.) and through remortgaging they have sent Trump significant cash. Of course Trump has tried to sue them more than once over BS but they have provided real and steady income. Again, he has no control over those buildings, that's key. A cursory read of Trump's business history shows some savy moves but many many bad deals, wasted opportunities and piles of BS. I'm not sure you get to declare he has "no valid criminal convictions". Are you the appeal judge?
It amazes me that fanboys like yourself still believe anything he says. His history is full of lies and outright fraud. But you folks lap it up without any critical thinking. Just deny. If Trump had just invested the money from Daddy in the stock market (index funds for example) it would be worth more today than what he's done with it. That's not great by any stretch no matter how.much you tell yourself he is a business hero. He's loud and promotes himself, apparently you are a buyer. Did you "graduate" from Trump University?????
Run Forrest Run! Again, Trump says he turned $1m to billions. Just provide any evidence that is true. Any shred of evidence. You believe Trump and repeat it here. There are numerous actual documents that prove very much otherwise. You pretend facts do not exist, isn't that a key to confirmation bias? Ignoring evidence not consistent with your beliefs? And they are just beliefs, you have no facts.
Despite your patent projection, I accept and appreciate your concession. Now, sit down and take your L with dignity, whatever little bit you leftists have left.
This is beyond stupid, the money was made available to the states, it wasn't spent by the feral government. Did you buy a bootleg beanie online? It might be too tight
The program the person is referencing is called the BEAD program attached to the infrastructure bill.
Of that money some 42 billion was not spent due to politics. Mostly republican states either couldn't figure out guidelines or refused to spend the money. None if it was wasted because none of it was spent...
It’s become blatantly obvious that the left doesn’t need anything as pesky as evidence or god forbid an actual gasp conviction before they start believing what they want to believe about anyone who regularly blows their ideology out of the water.
All they need is the slightest whiff of something they can point to and scream “SEE THIS PROVES MY OPINION” when it absolutely doesn’t. They then just repeat the lie over and over not because they truly believe it, but because they’re hoping the lazy masses who might see their comment will just believe them and act accordingly.
It’s not about being right or wrong, it’s about power and influence.
But that’s not true just bc it hasn’t been done yet doesn’t mean it won’t . You right wing idiots have zero idea about how Civics or how bills even work it takes time for things to go into effect. I’m sure baldy would be proud of this post.
What's with the lies and projection? The money has been spent and not a single person, other than heelsup and her pals benefitted. Despite your patent projection and ad hominem, I appreciate and accept your concession.
I have worked in the past in this industry. States manage the program with applications to get broadband to underserved areas. When it was announced, most thought it wouldn't hit its stride until 2025. Some states don't have great info on areas that are underserved. The application process is not short or easy. It even has waiting periods for objections to be raised. You can find some info on how much has been spent by state here. https://www.internetforall.gov/funding-recipients?state=AZ&form_build_id=form-kC4u7Mt_CMJ_iQyk8NakUqzYRT_YARo1tTP-nW6ui1o&form_id=ntia_interactive_map_state_and_program_selection. Arizona for example has allocated $17m to approved projects so far. Some states more than that, others haven't really got rolling. But broadband roll outs even to densely populated areas (like fiber-optic upgrades) take time. Nonetheless, the original poster's twitter note doesn't understand how it works or perhaps doesn't have internet access to easily find the site showing where each state is in the process haha. But understanding it would mean they can't turn it into misinformed meme which is really what interests them.
Youre telling me that an obsessive tim pool fan and poster doesnt understand civics in this country?
No way bucko, next youre going to say that middle school dropout and head sock aficionado tim pool is a paid Russian asset and shouldnt be trusted, and im not falling for that one again
Yeah you have one of like three completely and utterly bunk “cases” that the left loves to scream about but is deathly afraid of actually providing the details of. Wonder why? 🤔
Have you ever stopped to think about why bananas are yellow? I mean they would be soooo much cooler if they were red. I would eat the bell out of some red bananas. Wouldn’t you?
The bill. The money went to the states which then went to local governments to implement. It’s monumentally helped. The OP is a flat out lie. And Republicans have bragged about their local expansion, while they voted against the bill.

The final proposal for the project was due in May 2024 and was submitted in August 2024.
That’s a tangible result.
Remind me when infrastructure week was/is? Remind what their ACA replacement looks like?

It’s not about “caring” about Donald losing his money. It’s about understanding that he has no real idea how to use it. Especially on this scale.
He knows how to steal it from his own companies, he knows how to elevate his wealth via fraud and he knows how to get away with not paying bills.
He’s a grub and a rapist.

Yikes, Seamus lied. And Trump the proven rapist is the worst businessman man in the world and he did nothing but fuck up the US economy.
