Going Woke Gets You Paid — Liberal City Gives Transgender Reparations

To say we live in a clown world would be a serious misrepresentation of the lunacy put forward by the modern American left.

The average citizen is scratching their head, wondering how we got to this point, failing to understand the insidious way in which liberalism spreads like a virus.

All of a sudden, here we are. Major American cities have begun using taxpayer dollars to give reparations to trannies…

A city in California has reportedly approved $200,000 in funding for “initial research and program design of a guaranteed income pilot program” proposed by DAP Health and Queer Works that would look to “provide direct financial assistance to marginalized local individuals in need for a likely period of 18 months,” according to a press release from the two organizations.

The proposed program would look like a UBI, or Universal Basic Income, in that the recipients wouldn’t necessarily be restricted regarding how they spend the money.

“The initial financial support from the City of Palm Springs will enable the two organizations to study best practices of successful initiatives nationwide, conduct local research, and gain local input to inform their design process,” according to the press release from DAP Health and Queer Works.

The program would roll out in three phases, according to the a report from the Palm Springs city council:

This proposal identifies transgender or nonbinary individuals living in Palm Springs as the targeted recipients of the pilot program. Transgender and nonbinary individuals are identified as particularly vulnerable to unemployment, homelessness, assault, and discrimination.

The proposal submitted by Queer Works outlines three broad phases for the guaranteed income pilot: 1) application and design, 2) announcement and launch; and 3) recruitment and onboarding. The $200,000 financial commitment is intended to support the application and design phase. This phase is expected to take approximately six months and will include drafting and submitting a proposal for additional state funding, raising additional funds needed as cash match for the project, community engagement and feedback and finalizing eligibility requirements.

Funds requested from the City are intended to support hiring two staff members, materials and supplies, costs associated with an Advisory Council and other incentives.

Fox News wrote that “Former San Diego City Councilman Carl DeMaio, a Republican who served as the first openly gay member of the city council,” slammed the proposed program as “woke” in a statement.

“We’re completely opposed to guaranteed or universal basic income programs, because they ultimately cause inflation and raise the cost of living on everyone — they don’t work,” DeMaio said. “But at least some of them have minimum income requirements to qualify, whereas this one is no-strings-attached ‘woke’ virtue signaling to the LGBT community in a way that is not only offensive but discriminatory.”

“The Palm Beach pilot program is part of broader trend of cities — like Stockton, Los Angeles and San Francisco — providing supplemental income to at-risk residents,” NBC Los Angeles reported. “The application period for Los Angeles County’s guaranteed income program began last week. The program will give 1,000 county residents $1,000 per month for three years.”

Someone, please, stop the insanity!
