Chump change. Move to Seattle, they’re planning on giving street vagrant drug addicts $1000 @ month along with a new tent, crack pipe and Narcan to keep it all real.

Haven’t these morons ever heard that if you subsidize something, you get more of it?

Why become one? Isn’t just identifying as a gang member sufficient?

Unless they demand proof.

They can't demand proof without being Gangsterist. If they question me, i'll proclaim "Excuse me, it is Gangster! IT IS GANG...STER!!!"

I can remember driving around Syracuse inner city in 1969 looking for race riots damage. Surprised it’s still exists.

The actual members of the gang might have an opinion about that.

NY State is run by bloated progressives in bloated woke bureaucracies. This is all they know

they are trying the same thing with drug addicts in NY City - give then free housing, free food, free drugs, free monitored shoot-up sites “to allow better access to psychological and drug counseling”

Back to dealing with the Barbary Pirates? Paying tribute to your enemy is so stylish. Something a progressive liberal would do with someone else’s money. GFU

Well . . . I’m absolutely certain this will make the gang members want to walk the straight and narrow. Humph!

“providing a weekly $100 stipend to people associated with gangs as an incentive to maintain positive behavior.””

Expecting good behavior by rewarding bad behavior!?

These people are insane!

And we elect them! What does that make us?

They’re hoping to instill behavior modification in those thugs? What happens when they pocket the $100 a week, and continue their criminal ways? Raise it to $200 a week? Stupid is as stupid does.
