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.

Here is what you said, that I reacted to

But I said that after listing what I claimed was a summary of Trump's policies, Michael. You've got to read my comment in context.

And I'll stick with my statement. After putting [an oversimplified and slightly strawman version of] Trump's policies down, I dismissed them as stupid. From that standpoint, I don't need to know Harris' policies in detail because even moderately bad policies are better than the very bad policies of Trump.

In reality, I do know several of Harris' policies and agree with them. I suspect you know them as well, even if you don't agree with them.

Which gets to my real point. I feel like I've been doing all of the work here, spelling out policies and trying to show why I think Harris' are better than Trump's. In the mean time, you just dismiss my analysis as wrong. So I'm kind of done with that one-sided method of discussion. It's your turn to explain why Trump's policies are good for the country, Michael.
