I have trouble keeping up with the posts on here so my bad for the late reply!NY state is paying our local native tribe, the St. Regis Mohawk tribe, (Nation of Awkwesasne) aka "the rez" to the locals... 15 million dollars, plus 2 million yearly for who knows how long, because of land the state bought illegally at some point in the 1800s... these towns are in my county. The tribe filed a lawsuit in the 80s and it just now got settled. I agree with that since they kinda swindled the tribe out of the a good chunk of land from the already small portion they were... let's say "relegated to." It's all bullshit. This country was built on the backs of native Americans and then slaves, and then the poor whites... to pretend otherwise is dumb. We've always been a country that thrives on oppression and that will likely never change... without full scale revolution that is... but we're all complacent at this point, happy to bitch about it online and live our materialistic little lives absorbed in our phones... it feels too far gone now.
Fully agree! This country, as well as most countries it seems, is built on the backs of the masses while a select few control the systems that people could use to get out of poverty.
We will never be able to right the wrongs of the past with money.
Over regulation is just a guise for nickel and diming everyone to death.
Our leaders cheat and steal and expect us to not cheat or steal.
Politicians are just blank billboards asking for someone to pay them to sell their product or ideology.
Modern society is SO technologically smart...yet we have only mapped 10% of the oceans, have the lowest birth rate in history and we are about to nuke ourselves. Maybe all this uncontrolled growth wasn't such a good idea lol.
I think society needs to stop and smell the buds.
