ChicagoRocket on the .net site is selling his 2020 GT. We agreed on a price and I was set to buy it when I remembered something about new out of state vehicles. ChicagoRockets GT has 700 miles on the odometer. I wouldn't be able to register it in Shithole California as you can't bring in a 'new' motorcycle unless it has 7,500 miles on the odometer and is California compliant. Not federal 50 state compliant, California smog compliant. I can't buy the GT and I hate California even more than this morning. π‘π€¬

I actually helped her move there last October. I was helping her MIL move out there too, and my sister found a house for all of them, so we're moving everything from the apartment to the new house.Originally posted by Mighty Mouse View Post
She likes it, but she's outside the city, and her job has put everyone remote, so she doesn't have to commute into the city.Comment

Historic California law establishes path to reparationsOriginally posted by Mighty Mouse

NBC Newsβ’September 30, 2020California on Wednesday became the first state to adopt a law paving the way for Black residents and descendants of slaves to receive reparation payments.
The legislation, which was authored by Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, a Democrat representing San Diego who is chair of California's Legislative Black Caucus, does not commit to any specific payment. Instead, it establishes a nine-person task force that will study the impact of slavery on Black people in California and recommend to the Legislature what kind of compensation should be provided, who should receive it and what form it will take.
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the law Wednesday afternoon.
"After watching last night's debate, this signing can't come too soon," he said during a videoconference with lawmakers and other stakeholders, including the rapper Ice Cube, who used his celebrity to champion the bill.
"As a nation, we can only truly thrive when every one of us has the opportunity to thrive. Our painful history of slavery has evolved into structural racism and bias built into and permeating throughout our democratic and economic institutions," Newsom said in a statement.
In a year filled with protests and calls for racial reckoning, the law received bipartisan support in the Legislature. Advocates hope that it will become a model for other states and that it will make amends not just for slavery, but also for some of the institutional practices that continue to disproportionately affect Black people in the U.S.
"This is an extremely important time for all of us," Weber said Wednesday. "California tries to lead the way in terms of civil rights, and we have a responsibility to do that."
Weber, who was born in Arkansas, said she and her family relocated to California because they saw "tremendous opportunity." But, she added, California has more work to do to acknowledge its history with race and inequality.
"California has come to terms with many of its issues, but it has yet to come to terms with its role in slavery," she said. "After 400 years, we still have the impact."
California was founded as a free state, or a state where slavery was illegal, in 1850, yet several laws made significant allowances for residents to retain enslaved people so long as they lived in California temporarily or bought the slaves before statehood.
Slavery became illegal throughout the United States in 1865.
A similar proposal to study reparations for Black Americans was first introduced in Congress in 1989. It never passed, but Congress held a hearing on the proposal last year.
Weber's bill was written last year before the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody triggered national protests. It was also written before the coronavirus exposed disparities in the country's health care system, which made testing, treatment and prevention less accessible to communities of color.
"This is not just because of the circumstances we face. What happened is that, of course, those circumstances reinforced the fact that what we were saying all along was true," Weber said. "Some think we're just responding to the moment, but we're responding to the history of California and the life of Black people in California and in this nation."
