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 the fick is Citizen Frank? Becerra is right: it's damned near impossible to keep up with the torrent of misinformation on social media.
Bannon's "flooding the zone with shit" is working. Goebbels would be so all over the internet.

Anybody remember the lawsuits that hit the LAFD some decades ago? Like the toxic culture in some LAPD precincts (Ramparts??) some LAFD districts had a bad reputation for hazing women, non-white firefighters. Cost a lotta money.

IIRC, at one point the Chief of the LAFD was canned and a firefighter was brought in from the OC to clean up the toxic crap that was costing substantial payouts. Guy named Bammatre? Bamamatree?

He failed too and fell on his sword when a lawsuit by a fed up black firefighter nicknamed Big Dog was served dogfood at the firehouse. Big payout.

Prolly google 'big dog' lafd or something for the deets.

But, yeah, no doubt DEI is responsible for these epic fires.

But , hey... we got firefighters from the shithole country to the south... They saving the cats, saving the dogs, saving the pets of the people who live here.
