We’re less fortunate than the day Trump left the White House.

Where is my government money?

Handing out other people cash directly to the general public sounds to me like an undeclared political donation coupled with buying votes to me.

"Funding for the gift cards came from the Mayor's Fund for Los Angeles, a private nonprofit established in 2014 under Mayor Eric Garcetti that is supported by private donations."

These are "remember who to vote for" bribes.

They love virtue posturing and patting themselves on the back for being generous with tax money extorted from the people who earned it.

The Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles brings together the best of private, philanthropic, non-profit and GOVERMENT RESOURCES to take on the city’s most pressing challenges.

She was also using government employees to solicit grants for her non-profit.

“Hows that application going? Have you contributed to the mayor’s fund yet”?

Drug dealers and liquor store owners have to eat too.
