What is your spin on this 'woke' and racist policy. "Democratic Oakland, California Mayor Libby Schaaf, announced last month that the city would hand out a monthly guaranteed payment to its Black and Indigenous families and other people of color ("BIPOC," as it is commonly referred to). But poor whites who live below the poverty line are not eligible."


Not a fan of pseudo UBI stuff or pandering a*holes.

But if that’s ‘woke’ and stupid sub story hiring practices are ALSO ‘woke’, then it’s such a broad catch all I still have no f’ing clue what it’s supposed to mean.

Really?

Boston seems to be doing fine, as is Ann Arbor, Athens, Madison: the list goes on.

There's a few west coast cities that have problems with homeless people, but bums like the weather out here better than east of the Rockies.



All cities have wokeness, some more than others.

It's not free.

Socialism cost money.


Federal funding won't last forever.

It'll get nastier when the free juice runs out.

Like back in the old days, when folks had to work to eat.


Many of the youngsters haven't seen bad times yet.

*sigh*

I miss living in Ann Arbor. Seriously one of the best places to live in America.

And yes, extremely “woke” (anti-racist, pro-equality, well educated, and pretty wealthy).

The % of the population that is Caucasian is declining in the U.S.
As it declines, of course, the political power of this group also declines as does its' influence
This causes bitterness and bad feelings in some - but not all Caucasians
The share of the Caucasian population fell from 63.7% in 2010 to 57.8% in 2020
In California Hispanics are now the largest segment of the population growing from 37.6% to 39.4% over the decade
while the population of Caucasians in CA dropped from 40.1% to 34.7%
the number of non Hispanic Caucasians in the U.S. shrunk from 196 million in 2010 to 191 million in 2020
Caucasians, however, are still the most prevalent racial or ethnic group

Who cares about any of this? The most interesting thing going on now is the "military coup" in Russia.

I have a theory that Putin is aligned with Prigoshin on this. Blame everything on Shoigu and Gerasimov. Let wagner and Prigoshin run out the generals and take control of the military. They can then begin a withdrawal out of Ukraine and blame everything on the ousted leaders and let Putin have the possibility of surviving.

It does seem interesting. Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea what is going on or any idea of who to believe.

In that case, watch the rightwing start suddenly realizing the importance of protecting minority rights.

Imploded Titanic Bound Submarine Linked to World Economic Forum & Rothschild Family

Jun 23, 2023

One of the passengers presumed deceased, Shahzada Dawood is listed as a member of the World Economic Forum (WEF) on the website of the globalist organization, and a biography describing his work with the WEF and other organizations states that he "serves as Director across Boards of industries." Dawood’s son was also aboard the Titan submersible and is also presumed deceased.

David de Rothschild of the globalist banking family Rothschild is also affiliated with OceanGate. David de Rothschild, an environmentalist and "adventurer," joined OceanGate's Board of Directors in 2012. It is unknown whether or when his association with OceanGate ended.

I am so fascinated by this war that I have probably been spending over two hour per day for the last year just keeping updated. To me, war is just the ultimate sport. The strategies and tactics compel me.
