Better than nothing is something, but not the thing. Calling it the thing doesn't make it the thing, when it isn't enough to deserve to be called the thing.
Calling that reparations would be like calling "car" to something that has just 1 wheel, and I don't mean a car after losing 4 wheels it used to have. I mean just graving a well, plopping it on the ground, and going: "here, have a car".
Just taxing a middling billionaire the way they should be taxed would get enough budget to enact actual reparations.
There's just no will for that.
I am amazed it's only 27 million. If they could, they would charge all 340 million Americans and all immigrants yet to nationalize, and give no service at all. Which is their obvious aim. Charge for being alive.
It is usually because whoever grabbed power in that place fooled the people to garner their support, telling them that they would actually become a democracy, socialist, or communist, and then, once they are in power, they mask off and never relinquish that power. Sometimes they may excuse that as a "transitional period" before moving on to the promised state. But those are obvious lies.
There are other reasons, tho, like confusing voters and muddying the waters so the people can't really know who is actually working for them, or just mockery, like the nazi.
This is why the way countries do elections is very wrong. Votes should not be for parties; they should be for policies and objectives. Then get in power people who claimed to aim for the same policies and objectives, and heavily punish them if they don't really work towards them once in power.
Have you seen the show "Happy!" before it was mysteriously cancelled due to "poor performance"?
The villains' scheme in that show is likely what happened, except that the only imaginary friend in the real-life version is god.
US law can be so stupid sometimes, depending so much on having an adult in the room because of all the focus in tradition and precedent and so little on expertise, which makes it so vulnerable to personal biases.
The original owners are saying they want to relaunch MySpace, but they will likely fill it with LLM slop and drivel and create profit-making algorithms while saying they are going to do otherwise.
If they don't make it a federated platform, it will inevitably enshitify.
People don't set up cool-looking characters in videogames, exercise, dress well, or put on makeup for others, but for themselves.
This is the same. The strangers do not matter. They are not the point.
Oh, come on! Don't say it out loud! Just prepare quietly. Subrepciously redirect him to a Jet charted to go straight to the Hague. And I don't mean the nearest airport. I mean landing right by the freaking door of the International Court.
Hating the French and anyone who obnoxiously insists on using their dying language for no reason is the only unfounded hate I can condone, because jokes at the expense of the French by Monty Python are too funny not to play along.
This individual is proof that evil is not something subjective but actual physical matter that has condensed into the likes of him. Like the black goo that made Aku in Samurai Jack.
Turning what’s left of him into a realistic skin suit and finding a suitable actor who can imitate the way he speaks isn’t done in a few days.

You mean these?
Not even close to what this man got from his employer and the bank.

The most realistic possible future of the French language can be seen in shows like Star Trek and Futurama.
Yeah. Not falling for that.
That is the closest to reparations that a black person will ever get in the US.

They want a future in which only they own property, and everyone else has to rent even the freaking air.
More people need to learn that there are federated alternatives to speed up their downfall.
That would require anyone looking at them.
Wit the AI bubble, nobody can buy better PCs, and have to run their games in lowest settings that hide other players.
Nobody is looking at aynone. It's all floating names.

It only trickles down to their mercenary politicians and the hatefluencers they buy to keep people ignorant and divided.
