he “could hire one-half the farmers to shoot the other half to death,”
—Robber Baron Jay Gould
It looks like this story really whacked a nerve, which is understandable, truly.
I would ask that whatever you might think of my opinions, which could be mistaken, that you realize that politics, economics, society itself is multi layered, and while something might be good, it might not be right. A poison chalice, because what is obvious might not be real.
Just look at the propaganda that the American government is putting out on Iran as many try to create a war. Venezuela where our government tried to manufacture a coup. Or too often the police after they murder someone because “they feared for their safety.” Or the wealthy Blue states like California cannot find ways to fully fund colleges, create statewide healthcare, or find enough health for the forty thousands plus homeless, not to mention the RV dwellers. The eighth largest economy on Earth with the “liberal” Democratic Party controlling the state and nothing besides words happen.
That is the reason I think reparations will be used only to motivate the useful idiots. I could be wrong. It would be nice if it were true. But I think that only thing that matters is getting those votes come Election Day. Then nothing but excuses and I have been seeing this for decades.
Please do not be fooled. Do believe the smooth words. Look at their votes. Look at their actions. Look at how others will react. Just look.
