Trans Day of Remembrance wasn’t invented by the US, it was invented by Black trans women. Black trans women in particular are murdered at alarming rates. Please stop talking about this, you clearly have never been involved with trans activism or know anything about TDoR if this is what you believe.
Depends where you are in the United States… as well as your race and gender. Trans Day of Remembrance is a thing for a reason.
Just a couple posts down from this one in my feed: trans teen killed by her friend
I do community organizing work with a nonprofit, there is no way that would cost over a million dollars, absolutely no way.
If you’re a grocer, you’d set up in San Francisco because you have a local investment in the community. Or could be a co-op. You’re missing the point of the law, SF doesn’t want to attract corporations. They’ve already been failing the city with speculative stores in huge lots that end up closing. Small businesses can’t afford to make those gambles.
There is no way it costs $2 mil to set up a few meetings and write a report. It might cost extra money to a megacorp, because when they give people notice the store is closing, they could quit unless the store compensated them extra … and I’m all for workers having that right to leave a job that isn’t going to last.
If they’re operating at a loss, wouldn’t they close anyway? You’re talking about a business decision that only makes sense for a store that’s on the brink of closing anyway. So like, a few stores close a few months early? That’s the worst case scenario you’re talking about. And then any new store will have to set up with the intention to stick around.
With thriving businesses, I’m talking about new grocery stores. The bill does not cost nearly enough money to prevent someone from starting up a whole store
