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.

The next question is how to pay for it? What to take away from the Proles, to pay for the ships, after giving more tax cuts to the "JCs"? The thought crossed my mind: funding it by public subscription. The Grifter in Chief has been hawking Bibles, sneakers, watches, guitars, and other assorted garbage, for years. Now he can offer the clueless a "chance to make American sea power great" by paying for his latest monument to himself.

The UK Royal National Lifeboat Institution has a way you can donate where your loved one's name (or your name if you like) gets put on the side of a lifeboat:

Launch a Memory:
rnli.org - Launch a memory

Remember a loved one you miss – or celebrate someone still with us – by adding their name to a very special all-weather lifeboat

For only $65 (plus handling fee) you could have your name on a Trump class Battleship! (in 6pt Times New Roman font).
