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.

I think people want a responsible approach. Industry is known for doing whatever is cheapest and screw the environment if they can do that.

Industry responds to the best economic incentive. That's the nature of business. Being a rampant polluter is not in the economic best interest.

But around Fukushima time about half of Republicans supported nuclear power while 35-40% of Dems did. Dems were just more vocal, and we argued over it. Actually since Dems are somewhat better educated they probably understand better what happened at Fukushima than many Republicans, but trust industry less.

Lulz. democrats have degrees in gender studies and basket weaving. 'Educated' doesn't mean anything. You people melted down along with the Fukushima reactor but since the PA left wasn't up on any of the technical details, they weren't aware of critical design flaws in that design and the relative lack of proper failsafes there.

As for lies, I bet you really believe that TRump is going to track pregnancies, don't you?

PS. Unless you're from somewhere around the Mason-Dixon line, it just comes off as hackey when you say "y'all".
