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.

Astonishing that anyone could have trouble deciding. Trump is so clearly UNFIT in every way imaginable.

We have to come to grips with the fact that Trump may, or rather is somewhat likely to, win. All that we fear is likely to pass, will pass. I'm not sure what an individual voter can do. Somehow we have to hold and grip onto what is left us, and after Trump passes, see if we can rebuild. But populism will still be with us, so we have to appeal to people who become disenchanted with Trump and help them see there is a better way.

We need to get together with Europe and find legal ways to tamp down on the number of refugees coming into our country via the Geneva agreement. We seem to lose track of those that fly in with visas, but that's usually coupled with education - so it has a vague plus to it. We had a good beginning in the bill Trump killed (that Dope says he didn't).

We need to keep the economy going as well as it has been, improve our health care, make preemptive laws for foreign interference in our elections, see if we can draw lines on disinformation, protect our elections better, and reduce crime and overdoses. In getting people into houses, let's study the effect on rents and housing and reduce the probability of any type of collusion, intended or otherwise, on these prices. We can build more houses, but we need to do it intelligently.

We need to do all of this simultaneously.
