The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

“If I apply the legal standard of sharing the blame, I would say that it's 80% Republican, and 20% Democrat. The Dems shouldn't have put in an expiration date. That's on them. But that the Reps want to ignore it, or even kill the whole thing, despite how much harm it will do is on them. And that they won't even discuss it is also on them.”

I’d go 80/20 the other way. Did the Democrats put in the expiration date so they could use it as a political football, if they lost the 2024 election?

Republicans say they will discuss it, after the gov is reopened. Hold them to it. But reopen. This has gone on too long already.
