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.

hclasvegas: ...watch all of Jehs interviews, or watch the View, I can't hold your hand pal.

You have not yet articulated Johnson's positions or solutions. You're like Gomer Pyle on the Andy Griffith show reruns on TV Land yelling "Citizen's arrest! Citizen's arrest," except you're yelling "Jeh said it was a crisis! Jeh said it was a crisis!"

We all know it's a crisis.

And as I and albaby1 have pointed out repeatedly, Johnson's policy position is the exact opposite of the Trump position and more in line with the Biden administration's position: It has to be at least a 10-year project. There’s no quick fix to poverty, violence and corruption. We started this in 2016 with $750 million, really a drop in the bucket, but the money was helping coffee growers deliver coffee to the market, for example. It was beginning to have an effect. But the [Trump] administration has turned that money off now — the exact wrong thing to do.

You've added nothing to this discussion. Perhaps it's time for a nice game of pickleball.
