The Central Valley city went bankrupt in 2012, and for decades it has been trying to diversify its agriculture-based economy.

You’ve got that right. If this thing actually goes through, every “gentleman of the road” will be heading to Stockton.
LOL! You win the thread!
Will Hollywood celebrities protest their money being given away?
“...no questions asked”
Translation - no records kept.
Results - A slush fund the left can use as they see fit.
But at the same time, the PhD graduate chemical engineering types (if there are any--the mayor says the whole city is poor) will leave Stockton faster than the city can tap their wallets for the $500 to pay the losers.
If this experiment in socialism is actually implemented, it will last less than 6 months before the idiot leaders of Stockton get their senses back and reverse this stupid policy.
“Gibsmedat.”

>> “What is the common thread?” <<
The corrosive admixture of sloth and greed!

And if they find their experiment is a failure what happens when they cease their $500 payments to the ner-do-wells?
I agree 100%.
Pardon the metaphysical analysis, but California is evidently being run by the grandchildren of the hippies of the 50s and 60s, community “leaders” still trying to create the perfect world through escapism.
More socialism is great, as long as you're spending other peoples' money!
We're going to have to re-conquer California, y'all must realize.
yes— marxism. where do they get that money? under the treat of arrest and death.
