Re: Friedman called it "riotous living"

The week's question

In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

That's not a criticism of SNAP benefits being too low - it's a criticism of Higgins' ignorance of how they are not generous enough to permit recipients to purchase multiples of their grocery needs.

As it happens, I went to see a movie last night. From the trailer I saw, it appeared to be the common "fish out of water" comedy setup, with a de-winged angel learning to live like a human. Turned out to be a lot more than that. It has touches of "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Heaven Can Wait", but I quite enjoyed it.

This is not the trailer I saw, but it fleshes out the setup better.
