McDonald said in addition to keeping the birth center open, the grant funds would be used to increase staff training around issues like poverty, racial equity, implicit bias and trauma-informed care. Money will also go toward partnering with community organizations and doula services to support increased pre and postnatal care, he said.

American Marxism - taxpayers now fund unprofitable private companies in Black communities to keep them open.

What next, grocery stores, department stores.

So Democrats ruin cities and crush economies so private businesses cannot operate profitably, then they confiscate taxpayer funds and redistribute to these same failed communities.

NUTS - it's socialism, American marxism, all for DEI and funding failed Dem policies.

"What next, grocery stores, department stores."

Yes, most likely.

When you capitalize “black”, you’ve become a part of the problem.

Because this is not capitalism, it is progressive Democrat socialism

...Troy, New York was once known for two things...prostitution and shirt-making... a little bit of history...

Cluett Peabody & Company, Inc. once headquartered in Troy, New York, was a longtime manufacturer of shirts, detachable shirt cuffs and collars, and related apparel. It is best known for its Arrow brand collars and shirts and the related Arrow Collar Man advertisements. It dates, with a different name, from the mid-19th century and was absorbed by Westpoint Pepperell in the 1980s.

Troy NY is mostly a dump. The median home price is about $200,000.

There is strangely some commercial high rise building going on in the little “downtown” area, just across the Hudson River from Albany. And the campus of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute looks enlarged and very up to date (from the way it was in the 1950s), but most of the city looks “down in the dumps”).

I lived there about 2-1/2-3 years when I was a child.

Wanting to check the place out after a road trip to much further upstate NY (about 4 years ago), I chose to take a local route south into the Troy area. In the last three miles entering troy, it seemed like I was driving through a drug dealers haven, with what looked like “street sales” taking place every few blocks. I then surveyed the rest of the town to where we used to live out near Rensselaer Polytechnic. I could only surmise that all the teachers and administrators at Rensselaer most likely only go to work there but do not live in Troy.

They call it Troylet. It is situated in what is called The TriCity region. Albany Troy and Schenectady once thriving cities have been ruined by Democrat mayors and city councils.

My youngest sibling was born at St Peter’s Samaritan Hospital in Troy.
