California Task Force On Reparations Suggest Cash Payments

After two years of discussions, meetings, town halls, and surveys, a final suggestion has been made by the reparations task force.

The task force has recommended California pay cash for reparations to all qualifying black residents.

The qualifications came down to lineage and also will be based on how long you have lived in California and how racism has affected each resident during that time.

The nine-member task force has consistently deliberated over the past two years on the best option. Reparations were promised to the Black Community after slavery, but nothing was ever given.

But with this decision, California could make history as the first U.S. state to give cash payment reparations to black people in the new century.

When this task force was created, Governor Gavin Newsome was a big proponent of the topic and gave his support. However, in a recent statement, he has changed his perspective and is singing a new tune.

The next few months will be interesting because the task force has made a decision, but now it’s in the hands of the state to make the legislative decision.

 

 

The Weekly Opinion: The Scary Reality Of AI Coming into The World…..

Technology has made significant strides that people can enjoy over the past few decades. Small computers in our pockets give us access to the world and resources.

We can do so much with our phones due to the enhancements and growth of technology over the years.

But what is come into play now with this new Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be pretty terrifying if people think about it.

This new version of AI is bringing and will bring changes that society may not be able to recover or adapt to.

It provides new ways to do things, such as making music on its own or writing students’ reports for them. Still, it also will hit the job market and put the economy in a position where many people are qualified for positions but are without work.

Companies have already announced how they will eventually be automated for most of their stores, which may impact retail stores the most.

It will affect many who AI is replacing, and those jobs will never return. You also will have to look at other things that will be affected. Like the music industry and journalists who cover stories for their major newspaper companies.

AI will gain more power and still be a powerful tool as time passes. Great minds like Elon have called for a pause on bringing AI into the world.

No matter what AI becomes, the only way to get ahead of it is to learn how to adapt to the changes.
