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.

dear shrewder, are you tired of
- debating with MAGA trolls incapable of fact-based logic?
- griping about Dems doing x\y\z ?
- thinking the judiciary will be enforced when it really matters?
- fantasizing midterms will start a fix?

may i kindly suggest that a 'beginning of a beginning' can happen concretely and faster than anything else possible by your participation in this friday\saturday days of 'tesla takedown'. consumer capitalism can hold its own against crony capitalism.
it's up to you, not your political rep, not your employer, not your family.

trump sees in musk primarily his wealth, and thus his greatest future benefactor. reducing tesla's potential marketplace of buyers by ~90% will be devastating.
- no amount of tariff favoritism can help tesla if people simply refuse to buy
- car makers are EXTREMELY vulnerable when they have put in the capital to scale sales and cannot do so
(it's in the name...megafactories)

now the catch:
no matter your location, local law enforcement are likely to be conservative gop types.
despite every stupid vandalism case being done by individuals undercover, they may be itching for conflict even in a peaceful daylight mass protest. do not go with the intention of doing anything stupid.
1. take a fliphone with numbers you may need. lowbrim hat also suggested.
2. when approached by law enforcement, simply state you are walking away if not being detained.
