“The Alameda County (CA) Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on June 30 to accept a comprehensive reparations action plan, capping more than two years of research and community outreach. Designed to address decades of systemic discrimination against Black residents, the plan takes an institutional reform approach rather than focusing primarily on direct individual cash payouts.” FOX. From slave to black reparations!
A “bait and switch” is a deceptive political tactic where an interest group advertises a more politically appealing solution (the “bait”) in order to lure in voters. Once the voter is engaged, the interest group switches back to their original position, pressuring the political party in power to legislate a different alternative instead (called the “switch”). This is exactly what happened when the Temperance League proposed a ban on Saloons (bait) only to end up banning the consumption of alcohol altogether (switch). Speak easy but carry a Big shtick!
And that is all I’m going to say about that!
