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.

My fear continues to be that its not just Dems going full socialist.

It's more of the country.

As things get tougher---people WILL be closet embracers of socialism.

This is why I continue to feel we're on the wrong side---- somewhat----on anything from Medicare to Social Security to Affordable Care Act.

And in the meantime---we let 401K Liberals tout a "wealth tax" that won't affect them ......BUT they get to enjoy their greedy AMT reform. SALT restorations.

See if White Liberals ---are for totally living the FICA caps --not after 400K ----but lifting them at ANY threshold.

See if they want 100,00 more h1b VISAS a year----this as they lecture us on diversity.

The past few decades of free trade run amok, digital economies run amok, and subsequent family structure break down is why.....

Socialism is winning bit by bit.

The SOLE reason they've not gotten to critical mass yet is they keep nominating Coastal Snob types armed with Pronouns.

The day they stop that....

Our ass will be grass.

We'll have low income mullets at gun shows (who also wait for their government check each month)
