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?

It takes a mental imbalance to come up with something this stupid.
It covers their meth? Covers their lipstick?

How true. Consider this skit from Monty Python’s THE LIFE OF BRIAN(1979). Who ever thought it would be happening here now.

The devil is clever. This whole slide in the toilet began when we lost touch with the unique and exceptional principle upon which America was founded. That was the objective of the Left since John Dewey and it became the new “standard” within the public school system. The next step after losing that amongst the general population was to redefine what constitutes a human and thus human rights. We’ve been tricked into thinking that rights are to be bestowed to the individual who define themselves based upon a behavior (LGBTQ+). It is just a subterfuge to force society to accept their aberrant, dysfunctional perverse behavior. Thus, in practice such “guarantees of their rights” are nothing more than making the Judeo-Christian moral system essentially illegal. The truth is we are all endowed with rights owing to our common HUMANITY and NOT relative to a sexual perverse behavior. Thus, we’ve lost the right to identify a perverse behavior as such.

My guess is that the 20 people are already picked out.
Nice!
This is certainly a violation of federal law.
