So a city that never allowed slavery in a state that never allowed slavery is now considering giving $5,000,000 per African American in reparations. The board of supervisors voiced unanimous support, though some expressed shock that some of their liberal constituents are opposed. The vote isn’t until June, but I don’t see how they can walk this back.

It is my understanding that cities cannot print money like the federal government can, so it will be interesting how this plays out. I mean it would be a dream come true for those who just want to watch the world burn, for this to become law, and for San Francisco to do whatever it had to, to extract the money from the residents.

So a state that never had slaves is telling people who never owned slaves that they should give money to people who never were slaves.
Did I get that right?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

One good thing about this case is it would allow a test case that could get to scotus to rule out the idea of race-based government payments for all time. Or at least for many decades.

The AIs will force lots of redistribution laws. So much money, we'll ultimately be looking for excuses to dole it out to the masses who will be literally incapable of contributing meaningfully to the free market.

They've already done this for one family who owned quite a bit of what I think is now Huntington Beach. They were screwed out of land they legitimately owned. The city gave them the park back, which they then sold back to the city for $20M. I find this somewhat different than mass reparations just because your ancestors were slaves.
