California's Reparations Task Force approved $1.2 million in reparations per black person.
This is nuts. From the Washington Examiner:California's reparations task force voted to approve a plan to give eligible black residents payments for past discrimination — but it is still far from a sure thing. ...The largest hurdle the plan will have to overcome is in the state legislature, where the California government is currently dealing with a $22.5 billion budget deficit for fiscal 2024. The budget deficit likely means programs will see cuts, and the implementation of a reparations program would be a new expenditure for the state. The estimated cost of the reparations is $800 billion, according to some reports. Newsom signed the bill to create the task force in 2020 but has largely remained silent on whether he would support the current proposals. Ultimately, he is likely to have the final say in whether the reparations proposals are made law. The current proposal calls for payments based on various alleged harms caused by the state of California to black Americans who were descendants of slaves. Calculations of the approved draft proposal show that black residents who have lived in California their whole life and are 71 or older could receive up to $1.2 million in payments.
