We’re more susceptible to the narrative in which these stadiums used to get funding (now days more so is my meaning). Goes something like this: - You have poor shitty neighborhoods - Subsidize building of a stadium in said shithole, and watch the dollars come in. - You’ll have increased commerce and development of surrounding area with ample employment for said shitty neighborhood residents. We don’t need recent history to post mortem this, they figured out it actually doesn’t improve the region much a long time ago. ——— The only thing that reasonably works is gentrification, but, well, you know … that’s racist. How do you solve it? I don’t know, white people seem to have the money. We have to start much higher up to root cause analyze this, and while I’m annoyed by wokeness, root causing this kind of more or less leads us to ‘why the fuck are there so many white people with money’?. Anyways, stadiums. It’s just a bug way down the ladder. Have fun going to Yankee Stadium in the middle of the fucking South Bronx. Utopian shit never works.

Repairation payments directly addresses the "white people have the money" problem. John Oliver made a much better case than I ever could in a HN comment. It also answers "why do the white people have so much money" question. https://youtu.be/_-0J49_9lwc https://youtu.be/_-0J49_9lwc

  I just don’t think that’s realistic. We have all this commotion over dissolving student debt, but amongst minorities, they are saddled with all kinds of other debts. Dissolve that. Give credit score amnesty. Those house loans will be flying off the shelves if we ever did that. But nah, let’s focus on the guys that majored in Trombone or Classics at a private school for 25k a year. It’s technically cheaper for tax payers since credit defaults are usually sold to collections for pennies on the dollar. That seems way more affordable, and gives a proper tabula rasa (versus a 1000 stimulus check). We’ll just subsidize the collections payments which usually settle for way less anyway, and just free people up. We should technically do the same for student debt. Have these dumbass schools send the debt to collections, and we’ll pay the stupid 10 cents on the dollar. Fuck off and never over charge again. Why would we actually pay off the full ridiculous amount?
