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.

You (and "We the People") created JCs, so THEY are required to fund our dotage in full.

The "job creator" narrative is a con. It has always been a con. It's one objective is to rob the Proles, to make the rich richer. The Proles were too dumb to realize they were being lied to and manipulated, just like their boss at the day job uses them.

Let's say the "family values" talk is mostly bullshit

It's a "wedge issue", to divide and conquer the Proles.

Old folk - will vote.

That only matters if there are "free and fair" elections. Even then, it barely matters, because TPTB fix it so we don't have a real choice. Remember how Hillary leveraged her control of the party machine to make her nomination inevitable, even though every poll showed she was the only candidate that Trump could beat? We get a choice of big money backed candidate 1, and big money backed candidate 2. Whichever one wins, they first serve the big money that got them there.

We used to be able to figure it out. We used to understand. Then the Proles got dumb.

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Every way you look at this, you lose
