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.

Wake up, sheeple. The powers have been lying to you for their own ends. What everybody is telling you is suspect. Don't fall for their lies.

The real, unknown, secret truth is ... most of what the government says is actually right in most G7 countries. Fallible? yes. Occasionally weird or even misguided? Sure. Boring? Inevitably.

But far, far more accurate than nutbar Youtube screeds? You betcha.

The big lies are coming from the engagement-driven rather than knowledge-driven media (and a few Asian propaganda departments), not from bored civil servants and diligent medical researchers. Occam's razor: telling lies is extremely profitable, so there is rarely any need to invent deeper explanations or imagine vast conspiracies. There are no secrets which involve thousands of people.
