New York City will soon be passing two significant pieces of legislation as part of a larger wave of bills to address America's history of slavery and discrimination.

NYC passed a "reparations bill", but don't expect to see a pay day.
Councilmembers Crystal Hudson and Farah Louis sponsored a pair of bills to establish a Truth, Healing and Reconciliation Commission and a reparations task force. Both bills passed on Thursday and will be effective immediately.
Translation: they're going to pay a bunch of people a ton of money to "study the problem". They say it flat out:
The press release detailed how the commission would "establish facts about slavery in New York City and its ongoing legacies, protect and acknowledge affected persons and communities, and recommend changes for government and institutions to prevent the perpetuation and recurrence of injustices from the legacy of slavery."
You'd think people would be smarter and stop voting for these hucksters, and yet here they are.
