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.

Maybe it makes you feel good, but it doesn't remotely address the problem. The problem that albaby so patiently laid out for you. Apparently your solution to a lack of congressional action is to fly migrants to Chicago and Boston? We can't know for sure since you didn't answer his question, but we may infer. - 1pg

No. Sharing the immigrant impact creates incentives to solve the problem that otherwise would not exist. Look to how much Mayor Adams has become enlightened since Abbott's busses started rolling.

Thanks to albaby, I now understand what the opposing forces are that produce immigration gridlock. tIt If the only solution is legislation, the sooner or later, one side or the other, will gain the presidency and solid majorities in both houses of Congress. Then that irresistible coalition can implement its vision either rooted in "as close to open borders as possible" vs "stop the tsunami".

I know which side I will be voting for and it seems these days a lot of Americans are feeling that way too, thanks in large part to Abbott's and Desantis' share the wealth programs.
