Hasn't the US government broken every single treaty with Native American tribes?

Because as far as I know, they only finished the immediate project that I was working on and didn't continue doing any of the next things on the roadmap that were sorely needed. A fintech company that somehow assigned zero importance to their payments system.

I did this recently. They "replaced" me with two engineers after I had been begging for meaningful help for months.

Any recommendations for city builders on the simpler side for when my brain isn't fully functioning?

Tomatoes. I disliked them for a long time but a few years ago I tried them again. I don't remember how I made that decision - it may have been from forgetting to ask for no tomatoes on a burger but I ended up trying them more and came to like them. I don't like all tomatoes and not in everything, but I do enjoy them in sandwiches, burgers, and a few other things.
