REPARATIONS HEARINGS! FREE STUFF?

Bottom line is some libs want the federal government to pay reparations (free stuff) to the descendants of enslaved people. Why? They were not the people enslaved, their ancestors were. How about future generations?

I happen to live next to a pre Civil War Cemetery containing close to a hundred graves of Northern Soldiers who died for the cause. Maybe we should include any reparations coming to their ancestors to be fair.

Ketanji Brown Jackson. Don't know for sure, but she most likely is a descendant of enslaved people.

Everything costs too much but look at the quality of life vs those poor countries you mentioned.

Who cares about the poor? Get a job...

Anyway, that has zero to do with reparations.

The quality of life is still higher than pretty much all developing nations. Areas in those countries that are more prosperous are also more expensive. And are surrounded by much poorer areas. There is no hidden paradise anywhere where the poor live well on little. Just a hard fact of life.

Are you poor if you have plenty of food?
Good question. I would think the average American would look at a Mexican working for $10 a day, no car, multiple generations in the same house, little upward mobility, monotonous diet, as poor. He may eat enough, but Mexicans who are more prosperous are eating fast foods and a lot of sugar. Rivaling Americans for percentage that are obese.

I laugh at the masses who stoically refuse to eat GMO foods, but brainlessly line up for mRNA vaccines and boosters ad finitum!
I don't think they're refusing to eat them. Has been demonstrated that genetically modified wheat and corn along with seed oils and sugar are greatly contributing to obesity. Too many carbs, too much inflammation. Everywhere around the world where this stuff has been introduced into diets obesity has risen as well as Type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
