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.

Nope.

Yep. The left can't really argue issues at this point - the things where the left has made several national policy decisions over the past several years and they've worked their way through long enough for us to see results:

-Unchecked immigration. Allowing floods of unvetted immigrants into the US strained social services, caused chaos at the border and increased rates of crime nationwide.
-Loose security on benefit plans and social services. These resulted in nationwide fraud that diverted money from deserving people and into the hands of criminals. Lax policies granting things like commercial drivers' licenses (CDLs) put potentially dangerous drivers behind the while and risked lives.
-Soft on crime policies. Reduced police funding meant fewer cops, more low level crime which led to more high level crime.

On and on. So all that's left is the performative calls of "fascism" and the various other dinner theater stuff like the Handmaid's Tales thing.


And I haven't even touched health care. How's Obamacare working out for the health insurance market? Have anyone's premiums dropped in the time since that was passed?
