My father did some work on land which had been confiscated and given to the freed families that had been enslaved there. It was interesting because the deed was extremely emphatic that the previous owners, any of their descendants, or relations had zero claim to the land and could never have such a claim, ever.

The person at the county deed office had never seen anything quite like it and mused that the slavers must have been someone who did something especially awful against the nation or threatened to do something like that to get the land back which lead to the reconstruction official essentially banning them and their bloodline from ever owning that land. From his non-lawyer reading of it if the current descendants of the freemen ever decided to sell it (which they were very much not interested in doing) the buyers would have to do a lot of genealogical research to make sure that they weren't even tangentially related to the slavers or they risked the sale being voided.

This should have been done for all land in the entire south.

I was being serious.

e: The planter class should of had their entire generational holdings in both land a wealth dissolved and redistributed to their former slaves. All policing organizations that acted in any capacity towards the management of slaves likewise should have been dissolved and rebuilt from their foundations. Any person who held political office in the CSA should have been tried and executed for treason.

Well, I’m sure glad that’s not how it went. I’m glad to be alive, and I’m glad to be the beneficiary of whatever remnants of my forebears’ generational wealth trickled down to me.

Being glad you got to inherit the wealth generated from the slave owners of the South sure is a thing you just said.

That's a pretty good idea and should probably be official law going forward too. People who do the work actually getting the wealth that labor generates I mean.

The progenitor is supposed the to die at reasonable age with a considerable amount of capitol to pass to succesors. Boomers kept on living and spending that capitol on themselves or the exorbitant cost medical/elder care to pay.

Nonconsensual wealth extraction is fine when corporations do it (a company that's developed treatment [not a cure, just treatment] for Alzheimers recently dropped the cost of the treatment from 56,000 a year to 28,000 a year, thinking they'd get good press off it), but it's tyranny when governments propose graduated taxation a few percentage points higher.

The Good News: It turns out that the Texas maternal mortality is not nearly as high as previously reported!

The Bad News: Turns out our data collection is so terrible that it could potentially hurt our ability to actually track and mitigate public health issues.

I mean there's nothing wrong with beans. It's just that a bowl is only so big and they're taking up space that could have been MORE MEAT.

It is funny that people get super serious about beans in chili when most people are just using ground beef and chili powder from the store anyways. If you are making a serious chili with real peppers and cubed meat and omit the beans, I do get it (but beans are still good even there).
