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.

such as abolishing prisons and the police.

wsj.com - Ocasio cortez aoc president midterm elections

Money...money...money...MONEY! So much money almost anyone will sell out eventually.

We are frelled.


The idea of abolishing prisons and the police was always stupid, and could not possibly translate to having any power anywhere but in a few addleheaded minds. She got elected by a district that is extremely liberal, but I doubt that the reality of “abolishing the police” would go very far, even in that district.

When you grow up you learn to listen to other people, consider all views, and then make a reasonable determination for the best result. Never in the history of civilization has there been a society without police or prisons. If she wants to have any say in anything , best to take positions which are more in line with what the majority of society wants.

Or, you know, stand on the corner with a bullhorn and make noise, like Marjorie Taylor Green and when the act runs out find yourself on the outside with no traction whatsoever.
