Oakland Launches Guaranteed Pay Program For Low-Income Residents, Whites Excluded
by Eric Thompson
Progressive social justice activists continue to advance their new application of “equity”, which in their vernacular is a system in which everyone who is in the pool, ends up with the same prize. Similar to their idea of participation trophies given to everyone who competes in an event, even if they have never won an event, game, or a season.
They have abanded the pursuit of equality, which provides each person the same opportunity to try to succeed. Typically the results include winners and losers.
In Oakland, CA a program to give $500 monthly checks to low-income families, only of color, has been criticized for explicitly excluding the 10,000 white residents living in poverty in the city.
The lottery system, funded by private philanthropists, will see the no-strings-attached checks go to households with an annual income of less than $59,000 if they have at least one child. The other half of the $500 checks will go to those earning under $30,000.
