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.

They are getting their little degrees, prancing around as Doctors or pharmacists or accountants---not making asm much money as Daddy did

That has been my observation. I have suggested that, if the Trump regime really wants to make a lot of money seizing the property of the people he is deporting, the Muslums around here are pretty successful. Lots of gas stations and c-stores are Muslim owned, and, as you said, many are professionals. I was at the doc for my checkup a few years ago. The doc came in the room, with a med student in tow. She was wearing a hijab. In Dearborn, which is now some 55% Muslim, the Mayor and Police Chief are both Muslim. Trump named the Muslim Mayor of Dearborn Heights as Ambassador to Tunisia. He was replaced as Mayor by the Chairman of the City Council, Mohamad Baydoun.

The local news ran another piece interviewing the candidates for Gov. Benson, the current SecState gave her usual performance: broad generalities, but zero policy that would get us there. Both of the Repubs gave the orthodox answer: all good things come from tax cuts, to promote "growth".

We're frelled.
