Not just SF....

California reparations panel approves payments of up to $1.2 million to every Black resident

2.5 million blacks in CA.

That's on $3 Trillion.

Only $82,000 for each non-black person. or $138,000 for a family of four.

In a State that never was a slave State and in fact was a sanctuary for blacks.

Can we talk about the Chinese imported to work on the railroads? Yeah, didn't think so.

In “fairness”… what did anyone expect a “reparations panel” would do?

It's the lack of ridicule... I'm not surprised.

But such and idea should be met with ridicule.

Saw a big pickup truck - one with a back seat and a full size bed - with the number plage "PRIUS"

I guess it identifies as a Prius.

I like it. I have a full size truck.

The thing is it was the CAFE standards created them. CAFE eliminated the full size wagon and sedan. Now pickup trucks and SUVs are the new luxury vehicles. My has a lot of bells and whistles. Heated seats and steering wheel, satellite radio. It is quite and rides much better than most of cars.

So fuel economy regulations might have increased emissions.
The law of unintended consequences.

Like fish becoming smaller because smaller ones got thrown back.

Or CO2 emissions increasing under the Kyoto Accords because developed nations exported work to China, which was perfectly happy to build more coal plants.
