I am no legal scholar but I was always under the impression that civil rights law applied to white folks also.....not sure if this case would fall under civil rights law but it is obviously discrimination.

Laws mean nothing when it comes to ethnicity X.

The new Democratic administration has made no bones about it: Ethnicity X deserves many special favors.

So a basic income will become the standard as well as reparations and turning a blind eye to Asian bashing on the part of certain folks.

80,000,000 people no doubt feel proud of what they have wrought!

Self Identify as Blacque.

Lots of bling-bling.

I think this awful and unconstitutional proposal has already been withdrawn.

The truly irritating thing was how giddy and self-congratulatory that mayor was when she made the public announcement of "her" program.

The joys of giving away OPM. While this is a particularly grotesque example, how is it different from what Biden is trying to do?

Something in an article about "private funding." No details. But it is being distributed by the city.

Somebody needs to sue.

Oaklands plan included tax money. They set aside like 400k or something like that.
Its racist and unconstitutional.
The only question is, will anyone actually challenge it?

No its not fair.

Obviously not fair but is it legal? I would think it is unconstitutional.

Since when has the law stopped a Democrat from buying votes?

Nothing to do with Biden.

The idea of a guaranteed income dates to the 18th century. The US government experimented with it in the 1960s and 1970s when Republicans Donald Rumsfeld, later a defense secretary, and Dick Cheney, the future vice-president, oversaw four programs across the country during the Nixon administration.

Those studies concluded the money did not stop people from working, causing Nixon to recommend expanding the program. But it never got through Congress.

Decades later, proponents are trying again, only this time it’s led by progressive mayors. An independent review found that after one year of getting the money, 40% of recipients had full-time jobs compared with 28% before the program started.

My hero, Milton Friedman, recommended it as a means to rid us of all other welfare programs because it would be more efficient and less prone to waste/fraud.

The real problem is that whites will stand up for blacks but not for their fellow whites......why dat?

They think sticking up for a minority makes them morally superior....wlhite liberals are obsessed with being morally superior to other white folk.
