So much for that fake narrative.
There's no such thing as gay rights, minority rights, trans rights or women's rights.

There are only individual rights. Either we all have the same rights, or we're just groups of special interests fighting for preferential treatment.

Origin story for this meme:
San Francisco leaders show early support for $5 million reparation payments for eligible Black residents

A one-time payment of $5 million to each eligible Black resident is among recommendations unanimously accepted by San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors as part of a draft plan by a panel proposing reparations.

The move Tuesday was an intermediate step, with a final report that includes board feedback due in June, the San Francisco African American Reparations Advisory Committee said, and the board set to meet again on the issue in September.

People applaud chair Kamilah Moore during a reparations task force meeting at Third Baptist Church in San Francisco, Wednesday, April 13, 2022. California's first-in-the-nation reparations task force met for the first time since its inaugural meeting nearly a year ago. The live meeting also comes mere weeks after the group voted to limit restitution to descendants of enslaved or free Black people in the U.S. before the 20th century.

“Now, the real work continues,” Supervisor Shamann Walton said. “As I’ve said before, we have to stay focused and stay together as a community because now it is 100% more prevalent that we cannot be separated or divided.

“Let’s not lose focus because when we receive the final report, we have to actually resource the path forward.”

While federal reparations efforts have stalled in Congress, efforts by cities from Massachusetts to Illinois to California to atone for harms rooted in slavery – and address the racial wealth gap – have gained momentum since the 2020 police killing of George Floyd rekindled the Black Lives Matter movement.

San Francisco’s reparations advisory committee was created in 2020 to craft a plan to address institutional, city-sanctioned harm inflicted upon African American communities. But city leaders in recent months have questioned whether the city can fund the reparation proposals.

“I think the big challenge has been, how do we quantify, how do we get to a number. And then the next challenge will be, where does that money actually come from? Who is responsible for that,” San Francisco Republican Party Chairman John Dennis told CNN affiliate KGO in January.

The fight for reparations has stalled in Congress. Here's what they look like in state and local governments
Members of the public who addressed city lawmakers Tuesday supported dozens of the reparations advisory committee’s recommendations related to financial reparations, housing, job creation, education, the school-to-prison pipeline, health and other local policies.

How is the government supposed to pay for all of this? It doesn't matter. Did California ever have slavery? It doesn't matter.

^ Amazingly stupid. If a guy immigrated from Sudan last week is he eligible? And the white guy who immigrated from the UK a month ago has to pay, I suppose. Do indigenous residents pay too? It's all so bizarre.

But the basis of that meme is truly frightening.

Thing is though, Elon is 100% right. France's retirement age is too low, and therefore unsustainable.
