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.

Yes - but you don't have a family. You're just in a group of people that includes some kids - but they're not your kids. They're someone else's kids. They're not going to keep you together with them.

You think there aren't operations running right now where coyotes are trafficking kids across the border with Uncle So-and-so posing as their parent or guardian?

What I'm saying is there's virtually nothing that the Executive can do on his own to fix this.

This is where we'll just have to agree to disagree. We've seen all sorts of instances where creative rule making and clever usage of the administrative state could move mountains. The most recent example is Operation Warp speed to get vaccines delivered.

What's missing are the creativity to do it and the willpower to try.
