“The country called California is committing suicide by a thousand cuts.”

Guess who will bail California out?

Hint: Too big to fail.

There were never any slaves in California.

Bet there's a huge number of blacks whose black ancestors owned slaves.

Is CA gonna check first or just hand out checks to all blacks?

STAND BACK! There may be a new California “gold” Rush! Chicago, Memphis and Atlanta may be deserted in the rush West!

If that amount is paid out to all descendants of slaves rest assured most will be broke within six months and demand MORE!

Chinese railroad workers might have a claim.

Logically, if your ancestors were brought involuntarily from Africa as slaves, you should be entitled to a one-way airline ticket back to Africa.

“Honey, we're moving to California.”

That is my first question. Is this just for people that were in California before the announcement, or does it apply to people who will move there tomorrow and the day after?

This may be rough for California taxpayers but could be a great benefit to other states.

As a federal taxpayer, I just wish there was some way I could contribute money to this noble experiment.

“STAND BACK! There may be a new California “gold” Rush! Chicago, Memphis and Atlanta may be deserted in the rush West!”

That is what I was thinking. I have a black ancestor (escape slave) on my mother’s side of the family. I look very white, wonder if they would give me reparations if I moved to Ca.

That’s why I abandoned being a tax “payer”. For all intents and purposes, I’ve gone as Galt as someone can go in the real world.

In a few months from now the California State Government
will be seeing billions of dollars less revenue because of the rotten performance of Silicon Valley stocks. California went through this after the 2008 stock market crash. Newsom and the Democrats learned nothing from that. They can pay state employees or reparations, but not both.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is busy destroying himself (or his State). Californians deserve every measure of pain that is coming.
