  For the company it is a tax write off and getting rid of their surplus. They don’t care what happens next.

    Tax write off of retail value, instead of tax write off of actual cost. I wouldn’t be surprised if the writeoff is net zero for them from retail value.

  America has always been a place where transactions matter more than people. At least, it has been that way ever since European discovery. Native Americans were nowhere near this inhumane

    The victims of the Aztecs would beg to differ. Lots of people were fed to the sun god, to quench its thirst for blood, all to delay Armageddon. Like any other continent, Native America had genocidal maniacs and the Five Nations that resembled a federation. Good and Evil has no homeland, just the feelings that grow inside of people.

      At least the Aztecs were up front and direct about it.

      You’re unestimating the scale of present day US atrocities

      Never said they were perfect. And you’re right, they were wrong in their beliefs about a sun god thirsting for blood. But me personally, I would rather be a warrior in their Flower Wars with at least a CHANCE to make my way in the world instead of the capitalist hellscape of the modern era where every path just leads to more suffering
