The mayor of Oakland, California, on Tuesday announced a privately funded program that will give low-income families of color $500 per month with no rules on how they can spend it.
I know that we FReepers aren't expected to read the whole article - but one could at least scan the first sentence.
Regards,
a “privately funded” program aimed at whites only would cause a major riot and threats from the federales....
Yep, you’re right, and I did notice that.
I wonder how long it will remain privately funded, and if they already have a scheme figured out to segue over into gimme your tax money...I doubt this will last long if it remains fully privately funded. I can’t see too many people just giving away that kind of money month after month for years.
$500 a month for 600 families, just doing it in my head seems like $300,000 a month. $3.6 mil a year.
Lotta bucks to just give away. Corporations often give politicians half that much per year...
My remark is perfectly relevant. Don’t agree? Refer to a dictionary.
