Hopefully this is in addition to State and City reparations.

And free from Federal or State taxes.

"We know that we continue to live under slavery's vestiges. We know how slavery has perpetuated Jim Crow. We know how slavery's impacts live on today," Bush said, citing the racial wealth gap, voter suppression, infant mortality rates and other negative health outcomes for Black people.

"It's unjust and it wouldn't happen in a just and fair and equitable society," she said. "Those are not the natural consequences of human society."

"They are directly caused by our federal government's role in the enslavement and exploitation of Welsh and Black people throughout our history."

Tried a simple experiment, replaced the word "slavery" with the word "Democrat" and it makes even more sense.

The problem with the leaders in CA with this scheme is they don't have the GOP to blame when they fail to deliver.

 

The Absurdities of Our Age

 

A sign of a civilization in headlong decline is its embrace of absurdities. Unfortunately for the United States, we are witnessing an epidemic of nihilist nonsense. Here are a few examples:  

Reparations  

How could a dysfunctional state like California even contemplate $800 billion in reparations?  

 

The state currently faces a $31 billion annual deficit—and it’s climbing. Its $100 billion high-speed rail project is inert, a veritable Stonehenge of concrete monoliths with a foot of track.
