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.

1.)The "international community" sees how America handles "Democracy!"


2.)American people - who are more on tilt than ever- riddled with dysfunction, decayed culture, filled with anger, mental illness, and losing touch with their humanity - sees that extremes are the way to handle conflicts - at the highest levels.

3.)Each side - gets reinforced lessons from their own bases - about not compromising - and aspiring politicians learn the same.


4.)As always, Wall Street will see to it that the ceiling is raised. After all, your country can't be run without trillions more in debt accumulation.

The bonus would be Biden going around Congress to get this done - which would be one more step towards eradicating yet another societal or in this case governmental norm....and move an inch closer to not having checks and balances and multiple equal branches of government.

I used to voice concern that bad culture plus NeoCon-Liberal trade and economic policies will lead to this.

Not concerned any longer.

Things are only starting to get good.

This is the part when the lights dim down, and the popcorn and hot dog start talking and tell you to go buy a coke before the movie starts.

Still plenty of time for cool trailers.....

Then the movie will start.

Keep it up! I'm cheering for you.
