100% overrated. Harry Haller is a teenager that never grew up. He read the first paragraph of a few wikipedia philosophy articles and decided he was a genius.

That’s not true. Weather.gov is always pretty accurate and the current forecast for this storm is 1 inch.

I left Boston for Maine at 5pm today... worst drive i've ever had in my life. Cold as hell yet somehow still drizzling, not snow, so the windshield kept icing up. So cold that the defroster couldn't keep the whole windshield ice-free unless i turned the thermostat to 90. And then salt... i went through a whole gallon of wiper fluid. And then my damn headlights iced over. And that's before we even get to the other drivers. Holy shit.

> So the government can do heinous things, and as long as they wait long enough to admit it was wrong, nothing can be done about it? Sounds like quite the loophole to me.

Yeah, that's how time works. Unless you can re-animate the dead you can't give them back what you stole.

Is it the right thing? Why should descendants of people who were wronged be entitled to special rights? Why don't other people who were wronged get special rights? Like... all the millions of descendants of slavery? Their slave great-great-grandparents were even promised "40 acres of a mule" and never got it.

Generally though it just seems like an error in public policy to be rewarding people of the present (who did not directly suffer any harm) by taking from other people (who are not directly responsible for the suffering of those people in the past). Is that justice? It doesn't feel like it.

Teach about the past so it doesn't happen again in the future, sure, but it's an endless rabbit hole if you start trying to turn past grievances into present property rights. It's monetizing the ghosts of the past.

Reparations are a slippery slope...

91 was originally supposed to go where rt 5 is, but it was lobbied to go thru springfield instead. thats why it crosses the river in chicopee and then crosses back again in windsor locks.
