CA r********ns panel says millions owed for s***ery

After 15 public hearings and testimony from more than 100 expert witnesses and the public, the California R********ns Task Force approved calculations on Saturday that estimate as much as hundreds of millions of dollars owed to eligible Black residents.

Describing the emotional meeting as “one of the more rowdy hearings by the task force,” Wendy Fry from CalMatters’ California Divide team reports that its recommendations don’t include a final price tag for r********ns. Rather, they model ways the state could calculate how much money eligible African Americans in California have lost since the state was established to when the panel was created — from 1850 through 2020.

Calculations vary depending on the type of racial harm experienced (for example, losses stemming from mass incarceration or housing discrimination) and how long a person has lived in California. Based on the panel’s modeling, CalMatters has created a calculator to help figure out how much a person could be owed.

“For instance, a 19-year-old who moved to the state in 2018 would be owed at least $149,000 based on the calculations,” writes Wendy. “But a 71-year-old who has lived in California all their life could be owed about $1.2 million.”

Nearly 80% of California’s 2.6 million Black residents would be eligible for payment, according to one of the task force’s economists. But residents shouldn’t expect cash anytime soon. The task force did not identify funding sources, and it’s ultimately up to the Legislature and governor to adopt these recommendations and decide how much individuals could get paid.

U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee, a Democrat from Oakland: “R********ns are not a luxury, but a human right long overdue for millions of Americans. We are demanding that the government pay their tax.”
Besides looking into whether and how California should pay r********ns for s***ery, the state appointed the task force to address past racial inequities as well. It has recommended a few new policies to combat discrimination, most notably creating a centralized state agency that would provide oversight and implement the task force’s proposals.

The task force is expected to hold a final meeting on June 29 in Sacramento, where it tentatively plans to hand its documents over to legislators. Its deadline to turn in its final recommendations to the Legislature and Gov. Gavin Newsom is July 1.One possible explanation for this: Syntax. The text of the law gives certain exemptions for projects “located within a jurisdiction located in a coastal or bay county with a population of 225,000 or more.” Saratoga is located in Santa Clara County, which has a population of nearly 2 million and is considered a bay county. Saratoga itself, on the other hand, has only 30,000 residents. Does the 225,000 threshold apply to the county or the city?

If the threshold applies to Saratoga, PulteGroup would be exempt from the “sk**led and trained” obligation. It would also mean that under this standard, only 12 cities out of California’s 482 would meet the law’s requirement.

. . . and Fat Donny the Loser tried and failed to o*******w the government of the United States for the purpose of naming him president. Just to fill a bit of your time which appears to be rather vacant try this list.

Sorry but I have not updated this list since the November '22 humiliation of the right wing. This is just the beginning.

I guess the GOP can expect millions of dollars from the NRA for the next e******n cycle in 2001 thru 2002 there were and additional 204 million handguns sold in this country. Wow great for the NRA and the GOP.

In the same time period over 2.4 million assault rifles sold in this country, adding to the already 27 million Assault rifles on our streets another great year for the NRA.

But wait the money donated to the GOP by the NRA is never mentioned by the MAGA folks. But they will go after a George Soros who believes in some form of gun control actually the GOP is after that GD H****r B***n laptop and screw gun control let’s get that Laptop.

While the GOP was after the H****r B***n Lap top the statistics came out and totally ignored by the GOP. (THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH TO CHILDREN IN THIS COUNTRY IS MASS K*****GS) it used to be car accidents but that went down because we regulate who can drive and who can’t, but gun control no way MAGA is going to piss off the NRA. I wonder if the Auto industry donated billions to the GOP would the GOP get rid of Drivers license wow the states could save millions per year by closing all registry of motor vehicles, regulate how fast I can drive (NO SPEEDING TICKETS)(NO DUI’s) hey the GOP can start a competition who can k**l the most kids. (GUNS OR MOTOR VEHICLES) Get rid of all regulations on cars just like guns.

I can see the new Auto industry adds

(THE NEW ASSAULT FORD SUV) look out kids

But we all have to understand is why the GOP plays to the evangelicals and there agenda to stop all
A******ns in this country. Even in the case of Rape, incest (WHICH IS THE LIFE STYLE OF THE SOUTHERN URBAN AREAS) or health to the women.

They are against a******n because they want to k**l these kids after there born. Where are these so called evangelicals after these kids are born.
But the MAGA folks need to explain to the American people why they are against A******ns. (THIS IS AWFUL AND I JUST CAN’t COME UP WITH A BETTER WAY TO EXPLAIN AND POSSIBLY WAKE UP THE MAGA FOLKS. THERE A******N AGENDA IS NOTHING BUT A MEANS TO REPLENISH A GOOD SUPPLY OF KIDS IN CLASSROOMS) I say this because the GOP only option is do nothing.

They address H****r B***n’s laptop more than these kids being slaughtered in classrooms.

But I think moving forward the GOP has two factions the MAGA folks and the common sense fiscal conservatives.
But as the polls show when Trump first took office he was very popular among independents and republicans well he has lost the independent v**e almost entirely. And his popularity among republicans slipped to 72%.
But don’t worry MAGA Trump and his cronies are in motion in those swing states where he has influence over the Secretary Of States. Thank god for that e*******l college that’s the only way a MAGA candidate can win.
You think is want bad when Trump
Lost the national v**e by 7.8 million v**es. It is estimated that in 2024 he could lose by at least 17.5 million v**es.

(BUT THE BIGGEST ITEM ON THE MAGA FOLKS AGENDA IS GET THAT GD H****R B***N LAPTOP WHICH THEY ALREADY HAVE AND FOUND NOTHING

1) The MAGA folks get it all wrong Biden got 7.5 million more v**es than Trump not because Biden is great it was the only choice democrats and independents had. A nice guy or a pathological Lying sociopath. So get it right MAGA.

Pro choice and Guns

2) 100% against a******n, 10 year old raped need to carry the baby full term,12 year old girl raped forced to carry baby full term, 16 year old girl raped by her uncle clearly incest and forced to carry baby full term. Protect the baby at all cost even thou rape, incest or medically shown the health of the mother in trouble in most cases death of both mother and baby. I understand incest because that’s a southern urban lifestyle.

2) Now after the baby is born as he begins to grow the republicans spend most of there time to get rid of healthcare. They do not want to feed these kids growing up under poverty.
They need to maintain a population of Children that are southern Urban born to maintain the incest agenda.

3) Now if these children haven’t died of malnutrition, no healthcare, we send these 6, 7, 8 and 9 year old kids off to school and some 18 year old kid that’s having a bad day walks into a gun shop buys two Assault rifles walks up the street walks into your grammar school and blows a bunch of 9 year old kids heads off. All Except-able to MAGA folks. Option Do nothing

4) Now we have a kid going to pick up his brother rings the wrong doorbell and the homeowner attempts to blow the kid away. His excuse 6 ft black man standing on his doorstep he felt threatened the (F) ing kid was ringing the doorbell. What threat Again everything is fine with the MAGA folks

5) Cheerleader shot mistakenly got in the wrong car she exited the Vehicle and apologized and this Texan pulled a gun and shot both cheerleaders he felt threatened but he’s a Texan there cowards anyway.

6) The MAGA Folks can now start to brag about being number One. The leading cause of death in this country to children is thru Mass k*****gs. There only option do nothing

So they protect the child in the womb wait till the baby is born and if there not raped thru incest and forced to carry full term regardless of health concerns they send them to school as target practice, or starve them, watch these kids die with no healthcare. But when you expose it in real life they for some reason deny it point at democrats.

It’s also the same with C*****e C****e with all these disasters increased number of hurricane, intensity increase, massive snow storms, wildfires, flooding, Tornadoes but these MAGA folks define this as normal not caused by c*****e c****e.

But these natural disasters occur mostly in the Southern and Mid western states. But then they turn to the federal government begging for assistance from the very same programs that they want to repeal and call them democratic socialism

(There only option with guns is do nothing)

(Eliminate food programs and classify it as socialism)

(Eliminate subsidies and call them socialism until these hypocrites need them and at all cost deny the science of C*****e c****e. Deny the earth is warming deny the sea level riding, deny the glaciers are melting causing sea levels to rise and more severe snow storms.

(Protect the rights of any person in this country the right to own a gun, background checks not needed, We need to sell over the counter Assault rifles, sell bullet proof vest increase a deer or a duck decides to shoot back, multiple clip guns.
Only option is guns to teachers, lock all doors, police patrol inside and outside schools. Great idea approximately 116,000 schools in this country great idea create almost 2 million jobs create another $50,000,000 in gun sales not to mention body armor. Now we can add in the cost of training and arming all these teachers.

Oh no problem these MAGA folks will be looking to the Socialism programs to help subsidize these programs to protect the kids. Then when there taxes go up they blame the democrats

(AT all cost this nation needs to get rid of Obamacare Just another form of socialism

At all cost protect these people in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana and Texas and allow incest and rape to continue. May as well make it legal.

We could go on and on with MAGA stupidity and there love of Trump who is nothing but a pathological lying sociopath but it’s a waste of time.

Rights? There were no cars in 1776. Airports yes, but no cars. If owning a gun is an American citizen’s right why are felons denied. If a felon can be denied then it stands to reason that a danger to society should be denied. Red f**g laws. The 2nd. has been twisted to sell guns. Capitalism run amok.

Most guns used in multiple fatalities are legally purchased with people coming forward afterward that had concerns but no recourse before.

And of the red f**g laws, yes they can be abused. That is not consoling to those who loose innocent loved ones.
