The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

A young lady sat confidently in the dentist chair.
As the dentist leaned over to start drilling, she grabbed his "private parts" firmly.
Shocked, he asked "What did you do that for?".
She answered with a question: "We're not going to hurt each other are we"?

Tech billionaire Elon Musk claimed that President Donald Trump is “in the Epstein files” and that is the “real reason” those records have not been publicly released, without providing any evidence of where his information was coming from.

President Donald Trump floated terminating Elon Musk’s companies’ government subsidies and contracts as a way of saving money. “The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts the president wrote on Truth Social.

Musk then commented on a tweet about how that could end the International Space Station, writing, “This just gets better and better,” adding, “Go ahead, make my day …”

In another post, Musk said: “In light of the President’s statement about cancellation of my government contracts, @SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately,” Musk wrote.

Such a move could have a devastating effect on the International Space Station and NASA.

According to SpaceX, the Dragon spacecraft is “the only spacecraft currently flying that is capable of returning significant amounts of cargo to Earth” in addition to being able to fit seven passengers. It is considered crucial for transporting cargo and people to the International Space Station. It was a SpaceX Dragon capsule that helped return the two NASA astronauts who got stuck on the International Space Station for nine months when a Boeing vehicle had issues.

Trump has a huge hammer, but Musk has not only financed his campaign, but those of a slew of GOP politicians as well. The formost job of every politician is to make sure they will get reelected. Trump has traditionally threatened to "primary" those who do not do his will. OTOH, Musk could rrefuse to finance them next time and float his own competition in primaries. Politicians seem to be taking tghe attitude that you don't stand between a dog and a fire hydrant.
