I mean... I think it shows that they could've done SOMEthing. A legit breakdown of how much reparations would cost is much higher than the cost of stimulus checks tho. If done properly, that would be to the tune of 8.4 trillion while they spent considerably less on stimulus checks at 290 billion.

Here's an article for anyone interested in where I got the 8.4 trillion figure from: https://medium.com/@antoniomoore/the-roadmap-to-reparations-explained-by-ados-3577db752213
