re: Regarding Mount Rushmore......I hear its an underwhelming monument, but.....

The tribal leaders take all the money anyway. Nothing gets put back into the community. I visited a reservation in South Dakota, same trip as when I went to Rushmore. It’s the poorest place in the country, 90 percent unemployment but 100 percent alcoholism, and that’s not a typo. They refuse any kind of outside influence that tries to help them, and will actively keep businesses out to keep up their “way of life.”

Their way of life is 30 people living in a trailer with outdoor plumbing and kids getting eaten by wild dogs. Plus the extremely high rate of suicide, but nooooo we don’t want a Walmart because this is sacred land.
