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.

As someone who feels like I ---contributed to perhaps 3-5% of this..... (I tried like hell, got thru to a few people in the mid 2000s)

I love how Dearborn punches over its weight ---vis a vis a higher poverty rate.

So they get to drain more funds fro you people and your dum-phuck schools, environment, etc.

Pssst...... all the small business owners. Contractors. They have taught each other how to max out deductions. And *poor babies* the business---doesn't turn a profit.

And, well, that's a lower tax burden and more qualifications for benefits.

Otherwise, it's chock full of hard workers, aspiring business owners, business owners. Not overpaid lazy-ass racist 401K'ers.

There's a few small businesses there where the owners decided to purchase the real estate in -2006. The LLC marks-up the mortgage payment which the small business has to pay the LLC. Anyone wanna guess who serves on those LLCs? And if said spouses or kids....happen to earn a salary that just happens to be under the 401K contribution limit? How many elderly parents somehow got 40 quarters towards Social Security---as your Phucked System faced cutbacks?

We'll leave out deductions for premium travel to the Middle East and personal home improvements.....

I still have a very old watch with Arabic numerals on it from someone who is about 89 right now. Mind you he left Dearborn and leaves in Wabeek development in Bloomfield Hills, MI/West Bloomfield area in Michigan now.

So proud of to have helped if only a little.
