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.

That faction is now almost utterly out of power within the GOP. So you're not going to see "guest worker program" on the agenda for quite a while now.

I don't know how much turnover will occur in the Senate in the next two elections, but MAGA has given Dems a gift (if they don't blow it). So maybe that won't be true(??). That is, maybe they won't need many (any?) Rep votes to get such a program. For example, central CA (Inland Empire) is a lot of agriculture, and the Felon's policies are affecting their workforce...so there could be some votes to be had there (especially in the House). I would think.

As a side note, when Dope is losing an argument (which is pretty much always, when he goes against you), he changes the subject and/or moves the goalposts. As I'm sure you've noticed.
