They’ll kill each other for a used pair of basketball shoes. Imagine what it’s going to be like when everyone is walking around with millions of dollars. This is the dumbest f***ing idea that I’ve ever heard of. It’s going to lead to a slaughter. Perfect for fraud too.

FINANCIAL REPARATIONSObjective 1: Create a comprehensive suite of financial reparations that is made immediately available to those who qualify under the eligibility parameters set forth by the Committee.
Actions
1.1 Provide a one-time, lump sum payment of $5 million to each eligible person.
Rationale: A lump sum payment would compensate the affected population for the decades of harms that they have experienced, and will redress the economic and opportunity losses that Black San Franciscans have endured, collectively, as the result of both intentional decisions and unintended harms perpetuated by City policy.1.2 Supplement African-American income of lower income households to reflect the Area Median Income (AMI) annually for at least 250 years ($97,000 in 2022).
Rationale: Racial disparities across all metrics have led to a significant racial wealth gap in the City of San Francisco. By elevating income to match AMI, Black people can better afford housing and achieve a better quality of life.
This California Gavin Newsome idea is a prima facie case of complete insanity. This is not a Democrat vs Republican debate. This idea, like the one about letting people steal with impunity up to a thousand dollars, is lunacy that should prevent the person from ever having any government job.
Not surprised at all
Then federal government will fund it
For decades I did reparations-type calculations for lawyers. The purpose of such payments it to leave the injured party in a position of financial indifference. That’s done using the next best alternative. Many of the original slaves came from Angola and the Congo. The amount of reparations should be the difference between what blacks earn in the US compared to what they would earn had they stayed in Africa. I did the math for 150+ years and it turns out blacks owe whites just over $640,000 each.
Where can I collect my check?
They are going to play this until the next election. Then it will be like the student loan debacle. Vote buying and entitlement producing scams equivalent to drug dealers talking up their poison.
“Just one drop.” Now, worth real money.
Peering into the future of the “new black nobility” (phrase in the article), what is to be done about their children? That is, what is their endowment to be?
If this goes through, we will need a Special Train to transport all the Cartel Drug Dealers with their drugs in hand from the border to San Francisco
After reading this article, I’m sending the First lady to SF to establish residency.
We could use an extra five mil.

Forget it Jake, it’s San Fagsicko.
Look at the bright side. Blacks everywhere will move to SF and out of other big cities. Yes, CA gets more electoral votes; but not enough to offset other states losses. Conservatives can reclaim the rest of America with no cheating.
That puts a whole other spin on it, doesn’t it?
But it’s a valid point, once you head down the reparations road.
You’d never guess it from the rhetoric, but American Blacks are the most prosperous and influential group of blacks in the world.
Correct. The problem is these Democrat hellhole cities already receive state and federal tax dollars. Those dollars allow all the wonderful social experiments of cities without having to increase local taxes. It pisses me off to no end when I hear Republicans talk about getting tough on crime and spend federal tax dollars on more police at the local level. Cities need to pay for their own cops without the help of those in fly over country. When we pay for their essentials, they waste money on Marxist crap.
Just a bigger empty promise
( school debt forgiveness )
who’s only intent is to
inflame tensions
and produce violence
when the promises aren’t fulfilled.
.
Instant scapegoats
Blank robbed you of debt forgiveness and reparations.
I read enough of the article to realize that this is madness, fueled by greed.
This isn’t even a liberal “Utopia”.
Pure madness.
I bet most of them are white.
I almost wish it would pass, it would be an interesting display of self-imposed destruction. Let’s see who they try to blame for all the chaos.
