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.

What a load of elitist horsecrap. There is whole skilled labor force that makes your elitist life style possible and most of them don't have college degrees nor are they asking taxpayers to pay off the loans they used to start their businesses. The blue collar types have every right to participate in elections and they lead to perhaps better outcomes because they are guided by common sense instead of rainbow priorities.

Yikes, you guys have lost touch with the normies. And you wonder why you can't figure out Trump's appeal.


100%.

Everyone has different abilities and strength. Lack of formal education doesn't mean lack of critical thinking or real life experience.
IMHO too much education is also an indication of evading/postponing having to "adult".
Mark Twain (IIRC) - "I have never let my education interfere with my schooling."

Trump is a sleazebag as a person and as a businessman (stiffing his employees, contractors and investors). But he was OK as a President, as albaby listed earlier. Swing voters are not buying the apocalypse scenario. And he is slipperier than two eels doing it in snot. Look how quickly he distanced himself from Project 2025. You have to admire his chutzpah.
