California City Approves Program to Give Trans & Non-Binary Residents Guaranteed Income (Palm Springs)
PJMEDIA ^ | 4/2/2022 | MATT MARGOLIS

Have you noticed it’s becoming harder to differentiate satire from reality? When I first saw the headline about a city in California approving a program to provide transgender and nonbinary residents a guaranteed income, I was sure it had to be from the Babylon Bee.

Oh, but it’s not. It’s also not an April Fool’s joke. It is very much accurate. Earlier this week, the Palm Springs City Council voted unanimously to fund a pilot program that would guarantee a basic income for transgender and nonbinary residents.

So far, $200,000 has been allocated for this program, which is far less than the $900,000 the two organizations originally wanted but still just as insane.

Guaranteed income programs distribute these funds with no strings attached.

According to David Brinkman, CEO and president of DAP Health, one of the organizations behind the pilot program, transgender people are “one of the most marginalized populations in our city who face some of the highest levels of housing insecurity, joblessness and discrimination.”

According to a report from the Desert Sun, the two organizations behind this program say it will “provide between $600 and $900 a month to 20 people who live, work or otherwise spend the majority of their time in Palm Springs.”

I’m not exactly sure what $900 a month in Palm Springs even gets you. Does it even cover the cost of gas per month?

Wallach went on to a prolific career as “one of the greatest ‘character actors’ ever to appear on stage and screen,” notes Turner Classic Movies,[1] acting in over 90 films.[27] Having grown up on the “mean streets” of an Italian American neighborhood,[31] and his versatility as a method actor, Wallach developed the ability to play a wide variety of different roles, although he tried to not get pinned down to any single type of character. “Right now I’m playing an old man,” he said at age 84. But “I’ve been through all the ethnic groups, from Mexican bandits to Italian Mafia heads to Okinawans to half-breeds, and now I’m playing old Jews. Who knows?”[7]

“I did read about a year ago that Palm Springs is 50% same sex. And several times I have heard that the Palm Springs Dinah Shore Golf Classic is the largest lesbian festival on Planet Earth.”

One of my shirt-tail relatives (very wealthy man and his “wife”) moved to Palm Springs for this very reason. It’s chock full of gays, rich ones.

Rush used to say if you subsidize something, you get more of it.

It’s a recruiting drive.

I dont know about from the larger CA cities, but there seems to be a large LBQT subset from Seattle that are either moving or buying a 2nd home in Palm Springs.

I was kinda wondering why this was happening

I guess this helps prove trans and non binary “things” are so screwed up mentally they are incapable of being a productive member of society.

They should be institutionalized anyway... although euthanasia would be cheaper.

Can I identify as a resident? without actually living there...and qualify? Maybe I can identify as a resident of all of the municipalities that give cash handouts to supplement my retirement.

It provides an incentive for otherwise uncategorized destitute weirdos to declare themselves "trans". And also will result an influx of "trans" to California from elsewhere.

As with the so called slavery reparations, the real scenario is for the state to threaten bankruptcy and be bailed out be the Federal government.

Normal people need not apply.

Why not?

The 'A' in LGBTQIA is for "asexual" identification.
