Newsom signs bill forcing companies to dig for ties to slavery- then make them public

California should be trying to figure out where that money went for that train and quit worrying about shite from 200 years ago.

Constitution of California explicitly banned slavery when the region entered the United States as a free state in 1850.

"We were founded in 1960. Slavery was already illegal."

Do Nike and Victoria's Secret and Apple have to answer for present day slave labor? Or is that (D)ifferent?

Posturing. Will never be enforced

This is bullshite, but is this worse than states banning contracts with companies who boycott Israel?

No government should intervene in the market in this way.

I work in the field and they take my wages so that people who don’t look like me can live in a big house and eat seafood and steaks and drive a Cadillac Escalade

And they still end up poor.

These people don’t understand generational wealth or even how to get out of their own way.

Are these companies based in CA?
So another method that will get large companies out of your state.
These people are idiots.
Beside what will this accomplish? You going to fine them or use that as a way to acquire reparations from these guilty companies.
Punish people and companies that had nothing to do with the slavery of 1800's, which was legal at the time.

If we are talking accountability, how about accountability from the CA govt and the rampant fraud that happens with tax payer dollars.

And what will the bill accomplish?

Need to find out who got rich off opium in the 1800's.
