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.

“Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one."


Well, it's tough when you're down to the low teens, a lot of the older soldiers are dead except the Generals and Officers, as in the German Army. No one here has died, so it will be different. I think we'll see very little if it occurs. It'll start maybe by voting.in 2026 and 2028, that's what we'll be able to see, if Trump rescinds EOs, we can see that, but what else can we see? So we've had a small blue wave, and the defection of a couple of low level attack dogs messengers. The hard core MAGA, say ~30% of repubs will continue, they won't want to give up. We can't see deportations right now, only this, which I deem untrustworthy:

"The Trump Administration is on pace to shatter historic records and deport nearly 600,000 illegal aliens by the end of President Donald Trump’s first year since returning to office. More than 2 million illegal aliens have left the U.S. including 1.6 million who have voluntarily self-deported and over 527,000 deportations,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “This is just the beginning. President Trump and Secretary Noem have jumpstarted an agency that was hamstrung and barred from doing its job for the last four years. In the face of a historic number of injunctions from activist judges and threats to law enforcement, DHS, ICE and CBP, have not just closed the border, but made historic strides to carry out President Trump’s promise of arresting and deporting illegal aliens who have invaded our country. Illegal aliens are hearing our message to leave now or face the consequence: Migrants are now turning back before they even reach our borders. Migration through Panama’s Darien Gap is down 99.99%."...

..."Illegal aliens can take control of their departure with the CBP Home App. The United States is offering illegal aliens $1,000 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right, legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return." End

As you can see in that last paragraph, they are leading self deportees to believe they can reapply, the right way, but I don't think that's true. So if you're done working for the season, give yourself up, get $1,000 and a ticket home, what a country!

We may see a spate of new grift offerings and sluggish selling. Can we see that? Any ideas? Mueller?
