The Marxist bureauweenies presiding over the decline and fall of New York City are so useless that they have to outsource their own moonbattery.

The New York Post reports:

A city commission that costs taxpayers $5 million a year solely to study racial inequity has contracted out one of its main jobs — researching potential slavery reparations.

The Commission on Racial Equity — which consists of 15 members aided by at least a half-dozen paid staffers — last week issued a solicitation to find a vendor to create a report for it on “how wealth for the White population, key businesses, and NYC government grew as a result of enslaved African labor.”

Slavery was completely abolished in New York State 199 years ago.

A previous cost estimate put such a report at $1.5 million.

The money is meant to purchase pretexts to justify the redistribution of other people’s money on a racial basis. Liberals call this “anti-racism.”

It isn’t just NYC:

The state shelled out $5 million last year for a similar commission to look at reparations across New York.

That waste is nothing compared to the looting that will occur when liberals push reparations through.
