Castro and others come out in favor reparations.

82. Back in high school an "indigenous" friend (wish we knew

that term back then ) used her reparations check to happily buy a car, even though she was a teenager living at home with her parents and a pack of brothers and sisters. Not to go to college or invest, or whatever. I enjoyed riding around screaming at boys with her, but ever since I've felt reparations should probably take the form of investment in general wellbeing. I know that's not popular with those who are at best indirectly benefited that way, but oh well.

I'm still waiting for my reparations for the profound government neglect and occasional genuine abuse I experienced as the child of a mentally ill mother. But being a born-liberal-and-will-die-liberal, I prefer them in the form of well functioning social safety net programs for today's children. I'm not big on resentment or victim mentality.

Itm, I'm find with them all considering reparations. As long as they also make sure their major efforts genuinely increase wellbeing, however it's done.
