It seems to me that the civil rights movement must now begin to organize for the guaranteed annual income, began to organize people all over our country and mobilize forces so that we can bring to the attention of our nation this need and this something which I believe will go a long, long way toward dealing with the Negro's economic problem and the economic problem with many other poor people confronting our nation.

Giving money to people does not help them. Expecting people to behave honestly and responsibly, does help them. Didn't you parents set any expectations for you?

BTW 70% out of wedlock birth IS the reason for the black communities economic problems. Studies back up the link between the explosive growth in government welfare — begun in the '60s — and the increase of out-of-wedlock births. In 1960, 5% of America's children entered the world without a mother and father married to each other. By 1980 it was 18%, and by 2000 it had risen to 33%. Today, the number is 41%. For blacks, out-of-wedlock births have gone from 25% in 1965 to 73% today. But don't take my word for it:

You will not win this argument without resorting to your own echo chamber of willfully ignorant moral cowardice.

Government welfare that promotes out of wedlock birth and thus generational poverty is the real "fuck em" you are referring to, whether you know it or not. You suffer from moral cowardice, not willing to hold people accountable for their own actions, like having a child out wedlock. If you REALLY want to help single parents, then go do it yourself. Give them your money. Expecting the tax payer to fund bad behavior is immoral, unethical, and creates endless corruption. This weakens the fabric of society. I give to charities that help those in need, charities that look the recipient in the eye when handing them the money, then follow up on what the recipient does with the money. You know, holding them accountable for their actions (Martin Luther King's dream for the little children). This is something a government that is handing out cash can never do (Hey, where did all those trillions in covid relief money cash go?). So stop pretending I'm trying to f somebody.

Wait, don't they also have to specify correct pronouns and submit d.i.e. statements?

The companies that accept this money are required to provide company paid child care. Best way to support single working parents. Worst way to raise children. Delivers them into the clutches of a "government" that takes 'care' of everything for you.

"they want to put in less money than is needed to cover the pensions they already promised" - Note: In California, 'they' is not the guaranteeing taxpayers, 'they' are the democratic politicians that receive enormous campaign contributions from the public unions, whose pensions they are negotiating. And that's how California 'turned blue'. Pure, on going, political corruption.
