just as a historical refresher, SF and Oakland were big shipbuilding areas in WW2. Lots of people migrated there. When the manufacturing fell off post-WW2, instead of migrating to other areas where there was work, the people stayed and created an unemployed and impoverished class.

You too can qualify, depending on the color of your skin of course.

Welfare has already been tried and failed miserably.
Changing the name of something is sop for leftists.

The reason: White households in Oakland on average make about three times as much annually than black households, according to the Oakland Equity Index.So?! Simply target "low-income" families! Where's the need to differentiate according to race?
Oh, by the way: I'm Black now!

Oakland launches guaranteed servitude to thy unwilling neighbor.The mayor of Oakland, California, on Tuesday announced a privately funded program that will give low-income families of color $500 per month with no rules on how they can spend it.
I know that we FReepers aren't expected to read the whole article - but one could at least scan the first sentence.

โGuaranteed income has been a goal of the Black Panther platform since its founding,โ said Jesรบs Gerena, CEO of Family Independence Initiative, which is partnering with the program in Oakland.So, they want to foster independence by promoting dependence?
The irony is strong with these folks!

$500 free a month...If you can survive. Not too likely if you’re white.

If it is actually privately funded, I say more power to them.

Is white a color? Asking for a friend.

Interesting. So one can qualify, based on the color of their skin?
Seems, I dunno, racist.
Seems like that would violate equality and stuff.

I have no problem with this if private money is being used, bu5 it had better be taxed appropriately.

2008 brought “Idiocracy” into real-time.
Private funds? Great.
Just wait until those private funds run out or get cut off somehow.
I’m sure nothing bad will result. /s

If the person receiving this is also receiving public assistance of any kind then this should be counted as part of the income test.
