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.

It looks like it. Someone is going to get very hurt before this is over. Millions of people are dependent on medicaid. What kind of country are if we feed the oligarchs lower class misery and pain? Are we going to have huge numbers of shuffling old folks who die on the sides of the street? Are we going to let pharma kill people who can't afford diabetes type 1 drugs? Just what kind of country are we? And... we didn't mean that doesn't cut it - yes you did mean it when you voted for it.

I actually agree with much of what is written here.

I just wish that in *addition* they'd ask "Why do millions of people ----need this in the first place"?

They won't because:

1.)They just can't critically think. They don't care about roots of problems, they like to react. Well then they are American at least lol.

2.)They know their shit culture has created more poverty and they don't want to admit it, OR they love it because now, their Underclass has no choice but to vote for them.

Their advocacy would be so much more credible and so much easier to SUPPORT if they'd only even give a little time to "how can we reduce the number of people in the future, who need social service? "
