What's Tanzania ever done for us? That's money that could be going towards the president's travel expenses.

I lived in Dar es Salaam for nearly a year, AMA. But in seriousness, aside from Tanzania being extremely poor, they have a ton of gold and diamonds. When I lived there highways and buildings were going up like whoa due to Chinese investment so if the US leaves TZ completely, all the spoils go to China.

Naturally the Tanzanians get scraps or nothing at all :smith:

Reagan helped start the explosion of cocaine in the US in the 80s thru funding and protecting the people bringing it in(to the extent Ol' Ollie North would testify on behalf of major drug distrubutors to shorten their jail time), then started a war on black people that specifically targetted them even though they do it alot less than other people, and sentence them like 8 times more harshly for practically the same crimes of possession and distribution.

Reagan also fostered the Crack Baby myth. Which was 100% white supremacist propaganda.

Man, what is it with all these racist confederate white supremacists mysteriously being linked to the republican party?

Oh, I'm sorry. I meant the economic anxiety of hospital neonatal wards being flooded with imaginary premature crack babies.

Ross Perot posted:

“Go to a neonatal unit, if you can get in, there are between 100 and 200 percent capacity up and down the East Coast, and the reason is crack babies being born,” Independent candidate Ross Perot declared during a presidential debate in 1992. “Baby’s in the hospital 42 days; typical cost to you and me is $125,000. Again and again and again, the mother disappears in three days, and the child becomes a ward of the state because he’s permanently and genetically damaged.”

Just imagine how black people are screwing white people. Imagine really, really hard how awful black people are.
