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.

Don’t play naive, you know exactly the shithole Biden/Harris has been turning our Country into.

Amazing. The USA is far from a shithole. Have you ever lived in a foreign country? I live in the Philippines for 9+ years. We had FB groups for expats, and you could tell the MAGA types because they would complain and call the natives dumb and stupid. They complained because it wasn't the USA, and when in the USA they complained about other things. They seemed to be naive about the ROW.

I can't tell you how many times they complained about a cashier using a calculator, complaining they were all dumb as rocks. So I'd explain to them that if that till was short at the end of the day, the amount they were short came out of their pay. One woman I know worked in the shoe dept at a department store. At the end of her shift, a pair of display shoes were missing, it got taken out of her pay. And they never understood the concept of face. Where we were living was one of the cleaner parts of the Philippines, but they still complained.
