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.

Vermont has mostly white people so it might be discrimination.

Total health care is about $5 trillion so about $15000 per person per year.

However per Kaiser foundation, 50% only use 3% of all health care. Probably young healthy people.

45% use 47% of health care.

Then the top 5% of users use 50% of all health care.

The only real cost savings will be among the 5% of super users.

Time to put Granny on an ice floe.

What is it with these old sick unproductive people using up way more than their fare share of health care dollars.

A bunch of selfish boomers no doubt. Going to Disney world every year eating deep fried Snickers bars which they consider health food and voting MAGA.

Getting fatter and sicker every year

Same with the welfare bludgers on SNAP. They should just feed them the excess food from supermarkets and restaurants that gets thrown away every day. What a waste.

In cities like NYC give the poor SNAPPers throw away food from restaurants and supermarkets. This would be no cost to the city and it would be free free free and Mamdani could take full credit

Each SNAPper could be given an official Dumpster Diver ID card. Illegal aliens would not have to out their real names. Instead of kidnapping vibrant immigrants ICE could be assigned to help the SNAPPers locate edible garbage throughout our urban areas

That's a total win for everyone
