As Twitchy reported back in January, a San Francisco reparations panel released its proposal, which would not only pay $5 million to every eligible black adult in the city but also wipe out their student loan and credit card debt. Now the proposal has come before the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, who reportedly were impressed with the proposal and agreed that money should not be a deciding issue in doing the right thing.
A controversial draft reparations proposal that includes a $5 million lump-sum payment for each eligible Black person could make San Francisco the first major U.S. city to fund reparations, though the plan faces strong criticism from conservatives. https://t.co/RolbRXj8Xe

But wait, there’s more:
Payments of $5 million to every eligible Black adult, the elimination of personal debt and tax burdens, guaranteed annual incomes of at least $97,000 for 250 years and homes in San Francisco for just $1 a family.
These were some of the more than 100 recommendations made by a city-appointed reparations committee tasked with the thorny question of how to atone for centuries of slavery and systemic racism. And the San Francisco Board of Supervisors hearing the report for the first time Tuesday voiced enthusiastic support for the ideas listed, with some saying money should not stop the city from doing the right thing.
Guaranteed annual incomes and homes for just $1. Is that all they could think of?
San Francisco is about to pay out reparations to Black folks at $5,000,000 a piece.
They just accepted the draft proposal.

It won’t do a damn thing but make race relations 100x worse.

In a state that never had slavery, paid by taxpayers who never owned slaves.

So where’s the money coming from? How will it be distributed and to whom? Another little insight into the woke to broke process…

Nancy Pelosi’s daughter is available … she’s a documentary filmmaker.
I wish this would actually happen and sit back and watch the carnage and fallout that will ensue, but this won't happen.

Sounds like a trap. The problem: you're going to have some of those recipients realize that paying taxes at those levels really suck, especially if they're not prepared for them. Also, what's the catch? Must they stay once they get the money? Can they cut and run?

The proposal said eligible black people will be relieved of their tax burdens, so we’re not sure if this would be taxed, although we’re sure the federal government would like its slice.
What would this do to inflation?

You don't actually believe that they're going to go through with this, right? Carrots only work if they're kept just out of reach.

They’re just crazy enough in San Francisco do actually do it.
