It is arguable that they were inbred from the start. There are theories that all pre-1492 people of the Americas descend from 70 ancestors. I don't buy it because there is a good shot that people sailed across the Pacific and not all humans in the Americas came from the Bering Strait, but it's food for thought.
The Cahokian mounds, Hopi people, the Toltecs, Aztecs, and Incas would all like a word with you.
1: natives aren’t a monolith. The ethnic homogeneity you’re talking about also had literally hundreds of different languages and constant warfare against eachother. Comanches and Najavo didn’t even have permanent settlements, they existed off of raiding tribes who DID settle.
This is how I feel about most things. The fact that anything in the world actually works right now is a dammed miracle
no wonder the IRS is so shit at responding to my tax issues in a quick way, they're staffed by blubbering vaginas.
None of that has to do with his point, though, which is that the story itself is old, tired, nearly anll mythological and couldn’t have played out any other way.
I don't either but I can feel my abs from laughing this hard.
Holy inflation
People continued to use Roman aqueducts. When people abandon sites, they end up looking like uninteresting dirt mounts until someone decides to start digging - e.g. Gobekli Tepe.
I don't know about this one, fixing the government wasting money problem by spending a bunch of money seems like it might not be the best idea. I thought the covid checks were a dumb idea too and was one of the people getting pointed at and being told, "Haha money printers go burrrrrr". Then massive inflation happened.
The first peoples in north America were also globally among the last to develop agriculture and didn't have access to beasts of burden the same way the old world did
They need to do this they were wasting our money on dumb shit I can do that myself thank you very much.
Alright thats a valid line of thinking but I think that would make it like 12,000 years plus civilization, so it would be the same as giving credit to the Egyptians for the pyramids
The govt is funded by taxes, them sending it back to the taxpayers would be the opposite of spending it. Bad word choice.
Also that "400% higher rejection rate" study is based on... a heavily Democratic state.
I think in this case, the money has already been considered spent. It’s just being reallocated to the proper parties (the people). The money was already printed.
Inflation is inevitable for many reasons, I'm more forgiving of this blatant bribe knowing that it's going to get bad regardless.
