You have NO Say in where your Money is Spent.
Quote:A California city is planning to give universal basic income (UBI) to transgender and nonbinary residents regardless of their earnings level.
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.
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.
Twenty transgender and nonbinary Palm Springs residents will receive the free money funded by the taxpayers for 18 months, with advocacy-based health center DAP Health and LGBT advocacy group Queer Works managing the program.

It sounds like to qualify you only need to say your are a Transgender.
What proof are they asking for,,,, None!
Some of the LGBT community is upset as they should be.
I think this may backfire. The need is too great for way too many people. When people are hungry and homeless, they don't feel they have anything to lose. This is very likely to make transgenders a bigger target.
Right now, things are so bad for so many people that many people just don't care anymore. They are doing crazy, crazy stuff out there, all over the US. This will bleed into all the States. People are attacking innocent strangers, just because they feel miserable and they want someone else to feel as bad or worse than they do. It is crazy out there.
Just two nights ago, I was coming back from a case, it was early morning, and not in the best part of town. This woman walked right into the middle of the road, deliberately trying to get me to hit her. Thank goodness I was on high alert, because of the time, and the location, or I would have hit her and likely killed her, the way she approached my car.
She didn't care. In that moment she wanted to die. We have had several people do the same thing with the trains. They just walk onto the track before the train can stop. Too many people feel desperate, then they just don't care.
When they don't care for their lives anymore, they don't care about yours either.
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.
