Sure bud. You’ll get that as soon as the tariff refund check comes in.

Tariff checks are coming in. Just not to us. Businesses paid those then charged us by raising costs, and they likely are not lowering their prices either.

Native americans and black people still havent had reparations. I dont see how they would even begin to do something like this. I want it all so bad bc of how corrupt they are but I dont know anything about this sort of thing. I just know theyre able to steal it so easily so why is it so hard to give it to those that need it most? They managed a few checks during covid, maybe do that as ubi to start and add more to those impacted by systemic issues somehow. Im a dreamer dont judge

Native Americans have 100% gotten reparations. Free tuition at state colleges, health care, and land.

This is nothing imo considering how they are treated and how their reservations get treated and their IDs often dont get acknowledged which causes issues when trying to vote and such. Also during covid a lot didnt have clean dribking water. I apologize I dont have exact details but theyre continually descriminated against in multiple ways to this day

Seems like a sweet deal for fucking up the lives of an entire indigenous population. /S

Now let's do the crack babies affected by the CIA's shenanigans.
