Palm Springs, California is literally paying people for being transgender.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, and I do mean ladies and gentlemen, you are still on "Not the Bee." This is not a joke.
You have entered Clown World and there's no escape.
From Fox News:
A California city is planning to give universal basic income (UBI) to transgender and nonbinary residents.
Transgender residents in Palm Springs, California are eligible to receive a UBI of up to $900 per month solely for identifying as transgender or nonbinary — no strings attached.
The new pilot program will have $200,000 set aside for allocation after a unanimous vote by the Palm Springs City Council last week.
The city stated that the program is only for individuals who meet a poverty threshold.
If you "identify" as non-binary or transgender and are poor, the city of Palm Springs will give you a $900 a month stipend, no questions asked. Too bad for all the other poor people out there!
Please note that the city council passed this unanimously. No one in the room said, "Hey, wait, this is crazy, right?"
I'm sure the city has nothing better to spend their money on.
Former San Diego City Councilman Carl DeMaio, a Republican who served as the first openly gay member of the city council, called the program "outrageous and discriminatory."
"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 in a statement.
"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," he continued.
Obviously, this is a bad policy. It's also unfair and discriminatory.
But for the transgender activists, this isn't nearly enough:
Queer Works CEO Jacob Rostowsky also claimed in a press release that transgender and nonbinary people "are highly marginalized in our society in general, especially economically," and told the Desert Sun that the city of Palm Springs would have to match any state funds.
"Our project's budget is estimated at about $1.8 million," Rostowsky said. "And so when we look at what other [programs] that have been successfully funded have done, their local cities have provided nearly a match to that funding."
Equity in action!
Even if you're just handing out free money to people, paying them to be trans, that's still not enough.
For the left, nothing is ever enough.
