Please read up on those so-called "opportunity zones," which offer the "opportunity" for investors and developers, not the communities they purportedly serve. They're essentially a tax scheme for writing off capital gains taxes that offer only marginal, peripheral benefits.
Forbes: "When we look at who will ultimately benefit from the wave of OZ investments, the outcome is arguably more weighted towards the financial gain of investors, over the value add for community members.""By investing such profits in an OZ, however, the investor can immediately defer and diminish the total amount of tax they must pay, by as much as 15%.""Investors are focused on real estate and ignoring opportunities to support existing local businesses with equity."

No surprise that I suggested you read up on opportunity zones––and even provided you with quotes and a link to do so––and you clearly did not. You accuse the media and others of bias, but won't critically evaluate your own talking points, into which you clearly have no depth of insight.
The OP once they have started a thread they never post in it again. Save your breath if you think this person will ever respond back. Maybe even better if no one ever responded back any of their posts.

Go off Proud Boy! I think it's funny that you pretend to want other people's opinions regarding issues happening right now, but all you want to do is fight and lie about what is actually going on. You thinking it's not a racist decision regarding the charges in Ms.Taylor's case because the Kentucky AG is a person of color. Now you saying what even his GOP bros can't even say.....he supports minorities. He has never supported minorities from his start in business and beyond. Everybody knows that. It's a fact, it's documented, it's actually sh*t you can look up.
Clearly, you support rape, racism, terrorism, and white supremacy. This should be the last thread you post here, but I know it won't be. What we can all do is never, ever reply to this garbage again, and just watch his threads sink like a stone and live in darkness, where they belong.
So OP, instead of updating your original post, how about responding to some of ours.
And you just don't get it. I am black and I know what he is up to and wouldn't vote for him if my life depended on it. And the sad and scary thing is that it just might for 4 more years.
Not sure what media you are following and you evidently are not paying attention to the racist and xenophobic things he is saying TO THE MEDIA/Online.
The OP is evidently just trying to get a rise out of us. He/She has edited/changed the original post three times and even changed the name of the thread and is not responding to comments.
