The discussion on reparations and cleaning up the past hits hard. I feel like I’m still trying to fix the wreckage my unmedicated mom left of my childhood. It takes forever to rebuild from that 😑

This is 10000% true about Germany finishing WWI reparations in 2010. I had to look it up because it sounded so recent but you are right! It is wild to think that debt lasted 92 years lmao
