It’s never enough and it will never be enough. It’s always ‘a great start’ or ‘beginning a conversation’.

This is how you fight inflation. The Fed should be taking notes.

Ancestry.com DNA says I’m 2% sub Saharan African. Do I get reparations also?

I suggest we amend the US Constitution and allow californica to print its own moneys. They can give reparations in Liberdollars which will be backed not by gold reserves, but by concentrated liberal tears.

This way, all the liberals can trade their tears with the recipients of reparations for goods and services and their homes, cars etc.

Is there even anyone on this task force that would object to $100 million each? Do they have any budget constraints?

Seems like Newsome is using CA taxpayers to appease black voters ahead of his 2024 primary challenge against a weak Joe Biden.

will children born in the future be able to get these reparations too? I'd be having a dozen kids if each one got 5 million.

California's reparations board has been told to increase the amount given to each black resident from $5 million to $7.6 million - as one economist said the proposed $800 billion budget was not enough.

Least shocking thing I've read all week. When they give in and propose the $7.6MM, that won't be enough due to inflation. Or because climate change is causing energy prices to soar and is impacting black and brown residents disproportionately. Or they will expand it to include Hispanics because they are POC too. (Although they'll propose they only get about a quarter of what black residents get because slavery 200 plus years ago).

This is exactly what this is all about. He is using this to get all of the black vote in the primaries because he is going to do this nationally, while California is “presently taking steps to right this wrong”. Then when he gets elected, he will say he couldn’t get congress to approve it. And reparations will exist nowhere.

If I knew this wouldn't become a burden on the feds to which I pay taxes, I'd enjoy watching this experiment unfold. Ten years and most would be back to their starting point.

California needs their own currency so they don’t screw up the dollar any more than it is.
