Anyone who thinks this is going to go well already needs to step away from the bong for awhile...

This statement gives it away:

""We recognize the disproportionality of the war on drugs on the black
community
," said Brianna Thomas, Labor Relations Policy Advisor to
Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell."

And why isn't "black" capitalized??

Liberalism is a chronic, non-curable mental disease.
This is just another daily classic example.

Time was felons couldn’t get licensed to sell alcohol or drugs, but the genius politicians in Washington state are moving them to the head of the line! What’s next? Preferential hiring of pedophiles for elementary school teachers? Drug addicts to run pharmacies? YOU COULDN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!

Just a bunch of commies. Competence does not matter. Social equity elevates the incompetent of tribes. I use tribes as a less awkward and more accurate term for the long list of supposedly injured groups. It is only fair to recognize that some people of every tribe are competent. They educate themselves and get work experience. They won’t be in line for social equity handouts That leaves only the incompetents. It is a prescription for utter disaster, especially when it involves law enforcement, energy, food and medicine. Tens of millions died because of the same type of thinking in the 20th century.

One other note on tribes. The only way to achieve the goals of social equity is to divide the people into tribes and shut out the competent tribe. That would be our tribe. They would completely silence us. Our legitimate grievances would never be addressed because we are silenced. That leaves few avenues for recourse and violence becomes necessary. Always keep that in mind in dealing with leftists. We don’t want silence them. Just let them make asses of themselves pushing their agenda.

Goes to prove “nobody is that stupid” statement is always going to be proved wrong by some blue state, city or company.

No idea-maybe it is a new wokey thing? And if the war on drugs is affecting that community disproportionately, giving a preference to cons who have done time for illegal drug offenses to get a retail cannabis shop license doesn’t sound like the way to lower drug crime-retail license or not, los carteles will be silent REAL owners of these retail shops by financing the con to own it officially-what a great way to sell meth, designer drugs and fentanyl under the cover of a legal business...

Even Walt’s character didn’t come up with anything like this-wonder how long it will last until it explodes...

Can’t make this crap up.

What are they doing for bank robbers? Making them loan officers?

Making murderers abortionists?
