San Francisco District 9 Supervisor Hillary Ronen was elated when Joe Biden signed an executive order last week that opens the door taxpayers to foot the bill for the cities homeless problems.
Biden signed an executive order that was designed to increase reimbursements and other assistance to states to help cover costs related to the pandemic. The order states, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) shall “make available under Category B of the Public Assistance program such assistance as may be required by States (including territories and the District of Columbia), local governments, and Tribal governments to provide for the safe opening and operation of eligible schools, child-care facilities, healthcare facilities, non-congregate shelters, domestic violence shelters, transit systems, and other eligible applicants.”
“FEMA shall make assistance under this section available at a 100 percent Federal cost share until September 30, 2021,” the order adds.
Biden’s order is another shift from the Trump administration which agreed to reimburse states up to 75%. The latest executive order signed by Biden could be used by San Francisco to fund the city for all costs during the entire pandemic.
City Controller Ben Rosenfield is looking into if the order is retroactive, meaning the city could be receive millions of taxpayers funds.
“I think it’s safe to say it will apply from now until September, for those that are eligible,” Rosenfield stated.
“Fantastic!” supervisor Hillary Ronen said of Biden’s order. “Now we can open more spots for people experiencing homelessness to stay safe during the rest of this pandemic”
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the city is sheltering around 2,200 homeless in over 24 hotels.
Is “homeless” still a PC/acceptable term? I’m now hearing them referred to as “unsheltered” by the woke crowd.
Who couldn’t see this coming from the other side of the universe ?
Just when the streets of San Feces are about to get a good flush from an atmospheric river,, the taxpayers should get ready for their hosing as well...
Considering the current political climate, I have once again been brushing up on my Marx (if I’m going to be forced to argue Marxist dogma with know-it-all SJWs, I might as well re-familiarise myself with their ideas toolbox...)
So, I am immediately reminded of a Marxism:
“From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”
Also can’t help but be reminded of the way Ayn Rand used that particular Marxism in “Atlas Shrugged”.
Everything the Democrats are doing is part of the Cloward-Piven strategy.
The Cloward Piven strategy is the creation of a political crisis leading to a guaranteed annual income.[1] Essentially, the Cloward-Piven strategy would lead to the complete control of citizens through Socialism/Communism
I am ashamed that as an American I have to pay for such stupidity! We do not have the right to exist as a country, and soon we won’t.
Bums?
If China nuked SF would anyone care?

..Democrat experts are puzzled as to why the rates at these hotels have increased 68% in the last 7 days.
Welcome to the Hotel California
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave.
Then the homeless activists can protest for the government to continue forever to pay for the rooms.... happen in Seattle or Portland, what’s the difference?
San FranSicko. Actually, would anyone even notice?
No real Americans would die....thats for sure.
That’s a relief...
Probably most of us have been unable to sleep at night wondering why the homeless don’t have a 4-star hotel to live their lives in the luxury they deserve...
Now that SF problem is about to be solved, we all need to chip in and help finance the lifestyles of the downtrodden residents of NYC...
A couple of trillion here and a couple of trillion there ought to suffice...
Get those government money-printers running... Full steam ahead...
Gramps sez: vagrants, hobos, tramps, etc. George Carlin says they’re house-less. Everyone has a home, you just need a house to put it in.
It’s all fake money...just digits.
Nobody is paying for jack sh!t.

I hate executive orders. It doesn’t matter who is signing them. It’s a king-like power that needs to be severely curtailed.
You want the taxpayers to pay for the homeless hotels? Well, okay. Introduce a spending bill in Congress and let them vote on it.
The welfare “rights” movement, founded by the notorious socialists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, was not established to guarantee welfare to the poor...
As they said, their purpose was to pack the welfare rolls with so many beneficiaries that the government would collapse of its own weight. In the ensuing riots, they sought anarchy, using a militant poor as their foot soldiers. They couldn’t care less what happened to the poor..
