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.

water bottling companies pull a million or more gallons from the Michigan aquifer, per day, for only a $200/year permit payment to the state, because "must not burden the JCs".

Create your own water bottling company, pay the $200/yr permit fee to the state, and START PUMPING YOUR OWN WATER. Have your neighbors all do the same thing. Watch the companies start to twitch when there is more than a billion gallons PER DAY to be removed. Nothing permits EXISTING permit holders from drawing a billion gallons PER DAY under their current permits, so "fair competition" for that water will be a fun fight for all.
