A universal basic income for transgender and 'non-binary' people? Palm Springs steps right up

One-party blue California is an amazing repository for bad ideas that have failed elsewhere, and nowhere is that more obvious than in Palm Springs.

The ritzy desert city has shucked out $200,000 to two activist groups to come up with a pilot plan for a "universal basic income" solely for the city's transgender and "non-binary" individuals, with a plan to apply for the cash for it from the state.

According to NPR, which has an impressively surreal report about it:

The city council unanimously approved allocating $200,000 for DAP Health and Queer Works in late March. But this was just the first step to develop the program, which would provide a regular no-strings-attached stipend.

The two organizations are now in the works to design the pilot program. They aim to apply for a piece of $35 million in state funding — set aside for universal basic income programs — sometime later this year.

Where do we start?

Well, the first problematic thing about this is that the plan seeks to selectively dole out taxpayer cash to favored special interest groups

I keep waiting on someone who is 40 or so to identify as 67 for social insecurity and then identify as a 21 year old gal for auto insurance and life insurance.

Gotta make companies and the gubmint pay for this stupidity.

Politicians in California responded, "Challenge Accepted!"

Free money for gender bendering? Heck, my genders are all mixed up. Why, just look at this sentence: Tiene algo de un talla más grande?

This is what Palm Springs voted for.

I foresee an influx of trannies and “non-binary” freaks to pour into the city for the free money.

Hope so. Let ‘em all live there in one place.

They’ll ask the feds for more $$ - get it, and the feds will simply print more.

Problem solved.

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don’t.

My thoughts exactly. I wonder which Palm Springs officials are in charge of looking under the hood, so. to speak.

"Why would they do that? You’ll just end up with more of them. This type of behavior should be discouraged, not subsidized and celebrated."

California reparations decision sparks debate over who should qualify

"Reparations are coming to California. $672b for 2m blacks in CA, representing a payout of $336,000 per individual."

If it happens -- which I highly, highly, highly, highly doubt, because of the Deep State simply not willing to handle a skyflation event in a singular state, nor the gold(boo) rush that will produce homeless crowds in the Kali metros in the multi-millions -- in 2 years time, everything will look just like it did before.
