"Banks, clothing manufacturers and insurance companies will have to disclose any past connections to the slave trade if they want to do business with the city of San Francisco."
No penalties, of course, for historical connections to slavery, but the companies will be ENCOURAGED to contribute to a fund.
I think this is a dangerous precident when we start retroactively punishing and legislating "the sins of our fathers". Can you imagine where this could go? 50 years from now, what will we be paying for that the then-party in power doesn't like?
