These tribes operate like little turd-world countries. They squirrel and squander federal money, can’t find where all of it went, claim “it got lost”, then they beg, wheedle, whine and sue for more.
This situation is one where the federales said they'd reimburse the tribes and then didn't.
Theft is theft Migraine.
Driving past the sign on I-90 south of Buffalo, NY you pass a sign stating you’re entering the Seneca Nation (or whatever tribe it is). You’re somehow leaving the USA and State of NY as you pass the sign.
So... Perhaps we should treat it as a foreign country. Provide ZERO aid. NO votes in the US elections. Go through immigration/customs when passing the borders. Maybe require a passport.
I could care less. I don’t by cigarettes or hit up the Casinos.
