Most of what people hear about DEI is extreme right MAGA fascist lies.

During his first four years becoming a traitor, FELON47’s last budget cut for the wealthiest 1%, will “add a combined $8.4 trillion to the debt over the next ten-year period.” The current US debt has reached more than $36 trillion.

In 2024, San Francisco had a GDP of $263.1 billion, making it one of the largest cities in the United States by GDP. San Francisco also had the fastest-growing GDP of any US city that year.
Maybe if FELON47 gets what he wants and becomes the dictator he said he is going to be, he will turn California and San Francisco red by having his fascist MAGA thugs round up and execute the elected Democrats and replace them with Trump loyalists who are race car drivers and coaches like he said he’s going to do to the US military so they obey his every command like nuke hurricanes and China, while invading Canada, Greenland, and Panama, starting World War III.

The truth. There’s plenty of water in California at this time, but the pipes between the reservoirs and those wildfires can only supply so much water at a time, and these wildfires are so fierce they overwhelmed the ability of the pipes to supply enough water fast enough. And the high winds grounded aircraft from dropping water on those fires.

Creating inclusive communities — DEI efforts can help create more inclusive communities where everyone feels respected and valued.
San Francisco residents value diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and believe it's a key part of the city's culture. DEI efforts are underway in many San Francisco organizations, including schools, media, and the symphony.
Building reserves: States may build rainy day funds to cover unexpected budget gaps.
STRIKE ONE: Budget cuts. States must balance their budgets. To cut the budget means cutting programs that benefit the people who live in the state. The largest share of state spending goes to education – more than 50 cents out of every state dollar supports California's public schools, community colleges, and public university systems.

What does "feeling like your life is over" mean and why is it not in any dictionary online?
California has the largest state population in the United States. That means more revenue and more people with more infrastructure to maintain and public services to provide. One of those public services is the public education system in California.
Native American— In 2020, 0.4% of San Francisco's population was Native American.

Considering federal policies: States may consider federal policies like increases or decreases in federal aid, or unfunded federal mandates.
States balance their budgets by ensuring that their expenditures don't exceed their available resources. This is done by:

Still, that doesn't mean that one day San Francisco won’t elect a Republican mayor and city council. But it won’t be because of budget cuts, DEI, or empty reservoirs.

STRIKE TWO: DEI — Those who think DEI is reverse discrimination have been lied to by FELON47 and his enablers again. San Francisco had the fastest-growing GDP of any US city in 2024. That wouldn’t have happened if employers were forced to hire workers who weren’t qualified for the jobs available.
Age
Alameda and Peninsula watersheds: Runoff from these watersheds is captured in reservoirs in Alameda and San Mateo counties.
Evaluating spending programs: States may evaluate which spending programs are most effective and provide the most value for taxpayers.
“A riddle is a question or statement that is intentionally phrased to be difficult to answer or understand. Riddles are often used as a fun way to challenge people's thinking skills.”
STRIKE THREE: The reservoirs providing water to San Francisco and the rest of California are not empty. They are above capacity due to more than average rainfall for the last two years, and under Governor Newsom, a new reservoir is being built in California, the largest to be built in the United States in the last fifty years. Since Newsom only has two years left to serve as governor, It will be completed after he’s not governor any longer, since it can take a decade or more to build a large reservoir legally and properly.
Economic opportunity — Addressing racial inequity in the Bay Area could add billions of dollars to the economy.
Again, more lies from FELON47 and his MAGA cult that California ran out of water and can’t fight the wildfires in Los Angeles County, blaming Governor Newsom.

The largest budget item for the federal government, on the other hand, is defense spending, while, according to the U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data, approximately 3% of the federal budget is allocated to education, training, employment, and social services, which includes spending on education.

Think of it this way, take all the traffic at rush hour on a freeway with 8 lanes, and send that traffic to a two lane road, one lane for each direction. What happens? Water pipes can’t expand to carry more water just like a two lane road can’t add six more lanes in a moment to handle increased traffic.
African American — In 2020, 5.1% of San Francisco's population was African American. The African American population has declined in recent decades.
Asian: 3.5% in December 2024
California's reservoirs are currently in good shape, with levels above average after two wet winters. However, the state's water managers must balance flood control with preparing for possible droughts.
Paying off the HUGE federal debt like this one isn’t going to be easy. Still, as long as that debt is there, it is a threat that could destroy the U.S. economy.
Guess what: Canada, Mexico, and some of the other states sent help to fight those LA fires, but FELON47 and his MAGA stooges in Congress refused. The prefer to lie and blame Newsom, because Newsom like California have to be punished for not support FELON47.
White — In 2020, 44.9% of San Francisco's population was White. In 2022, White (Non-Hispanic) residents were the most common ethnic group.
Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander — In 2020, 0.4% of San Francisco's population was Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander.
