what about the homeless?

they need 40 hours to mourn as well...

why draw the line at city employees?

that seems rather convenient...to take civilian's money , and then give the public servants, errr city employees a paid vacation to pretend they knew a single slave or Floyd?


History is history

what about the Jews? Do they get to be paid to mourn over the holocaust?

As long as there isn’t a single federal dollar spent on it or used to replace those funds, I don’t give a shite

Since these cities are flat broke, ultimately, the money will come from the Feds.

I wonder how scared that mayor would be if he was in the same elevator with 8 dreadheads, sagging, and with wife beaters on?

Wow. Guarantee that'll be paid leave too. Taxpayer funded paid leave. That is unreal.

If my company gives the same thing to black employees in my company and not to me, can’t I sue them for discrimination?

Damn. Portland doing the heavy lifting in terms of oppression. I thought slavery, segregation, etc... ended centuries and decades ago. Portland has been keeping it strong for 400 years! I guess if you're good at something, stick with it.

Yeah, problem is the money comes from somewhere, which they replace with money from somewhere else, which eventually results in their need for more Federal money to pave their streets, build their sidewalks, build a ballfield, or whatever...

So the city of Portland equates 40 hours of PTO to 400 years of black people being oppressed. A bit racist.
