Would be interesting to see it play out. What would happen when the money was all spent? Might be like a ton of lottery winners that came into money for the first time in their lives

Ok, let's stipulate this naive guess. What's next? You think the idiots will just move on, happy knowing how much money they are "owed" but will never receive? Put a number to it and watch the trash. This is an effort to fuel a fire.

So, the best way to appease idiots is to scream and yell about how much money they are owed, and then not give them anything?



That’s a brilliant plan.

If there are 2.2mm black people in California that means they would each get north of 6 million dollars. That’s a big number

The idiots may not move on but if the politicians ever enacted something like this, not just in Cali, but anywhere, I'd imagine anyone with the resources who'd be affected by this would move the frick out.

It'd be a political killer.

Don't forget, although Newsom won, the people of Cali still sent him to a recall election. In his first term too.

You're overall right on this. So then we have to assume they have no intention of enacting it, which takes appeasement off the table.

You think it's black people screaming about this shite? Look at the article for Christ's sake.

Also, are you new to politics?

Yes.

I’ve seen the clips.

Appeasement tactics like this are used for elections to get people out to vote, not at a time when there are no elections.

There is no gain for anyone here.

Have you just started paying attention to politics?

Natives Americans are irrelevant because of being conquered status. Well the people brought in from Africa were people conquered by their ancestors and traded for. Americans should be thankful their part in this was done as ancestors from Africa living here now are blessed not to live there

claim Native Americans 'are irrelevant' for payouts

They need to be much more specific in saying that only people who use the screen name “TheHarahanian” are relevant for $14 trillion in payouts.

National debt is 31 trillion. This is nearly 1/2 the national debt. Currently each taxpayer owes $246,000


Are you counting the 57% who don’t pay a dime? If so, that number is a lot higher for those who actually pay.

Wrong! Most of us at least know good, hard working people in California. Many of us know good hard working, people who have left already. It's because the far leftists control politics that they did so

No.

When California’s economy subsequently tanks, fedgov (i.e., you and I) will carry the burden of the inevitable bailout.


What California is proposing is theft.
If I was a (cursed) citizen of that state, I’d sue.
This country … smh.

Don't bring Common Sense to a Leftist discussion. That is like saying only African's were slaves. C'mon man. The Slavs and every other ethnicity on this planet could claim being slaves to some power at some time.

LINK

Even Icelanders were captured for Slavery in North Africa by some people that did some things.

Wiki Link - The label "Turkish" does not refer to Turkey; at the time it was a general term for all Muslims in the Mediterranean region since the majority were a part of the Ottoman Empire.[2] During the 17th century, the majority of those called "Turks" in Algeria, were European Christians that had converted to Islam

As we know, it's only for votes and personal power for Progressive hypocrites.
