    Just pointing out that Hitler had a very similar scheme.

      That’s like saying the trains should suck because Hitler made them run on time (I know that’s a myth but still)

      Also Flint, Michigan is mostly black

      Hitler also wanted to fuck his dog, maybe even did. Does that make him a dogfucker? Yes. Yes it does.

      I don’t remember what I was going to say, but I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to call Hitler a dogfucker.

      It’s not a scheme, it is a valid tool for population encouragement. Anyone having a kid to get $1500 needs to live in poverty imo.

      Hitler also liked animals. Guess every animal friend is literally Hitler
