Oh, I'm not saying that reparations should be discounted or abandoned just because not every proposal is perfect.

But this only underscores the need for a federal commission to study the possible remedies, in the first place. It seems that *some* reparations advocates just want instant payouts without working out the logistics first. And the logistics are going to be a deal-breaker if reparations have any chance of passing a future session of Congress.

I suspect that part of the reason why the state commission on reparations in California has recommended more than 100 possible remedies is because the members of the commission know that not every individual proposal is going to be feasible -- so they're exploring every possible permutation of how reparations could be done so that at least SOME of the remedies can actually be implemented?
