Looting, rioting, and "peaceful protests" get in the way of work. Cities have chased away businesses with high taxes and regulations and now a toleration of looting and arson. Now they want us to pay the price. No!

Sounds like some folks are going to be enslaved and forced to work real hard so that some other folks can sit around and drink lemonade (or perhaps something stronger).

The headline should have read, “support grows among American mayors to pay off terrorists with your money”

Guaranteed income, big reparations deductions from all whites,
Biden promising to take back Trump tax cuts, paying for impossibly large numbers of unrestricted border crasher illegals getting on welfare and health care plus housing, no police, gun confiscation enforced....
What’s for a Marxist not to like?
The rest of us? Sneak out of the country. Pronto.

Yes ,we are finding out most Mayors are Insane
To: karpov
Are the Mayors paying for it out of their salary? You can’t give away something for nothing. Life doesn’t work that way.

If these cities want to implement this, then they can raise their own taxes to pay for it. No Federal dollars to those cities that adopt this, and defund the police.

Why doesn’t the government just buy the meth direct from the supplier and cut out the middleman?
To: karpov
Is it possible to pay off extortionists? Won’t they just keep coming back for more? Especially since they know it worked before.

It’s called welfare. It’s been tried already and failed miserably.

The headline should have read, “support grows among American mayors to pay off terrorists with your money” "Lucky" for us after another round or two of debt increasing giveaway Covid crisis relief money, the dollar will collapse, inflation will run wild and our money will be worthless anyway. Here, BLM freeloaders, take a wheelbarrow of my total life savings in cash. Buy a bag of Fritos and a Coke. Live it up.
