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.

Machado has previously advocated

Machado became expendable the moment Trump bought off the leadership of the existing regime. Even her giving her Nobel to Trump didn't make her relevant.

She said that after free elections, Venezuela would require massive international investment to rebuild healthcare, electricity, infrastructure, education, technology, transportation and the oil and gas industries.

Spending on education and public health take money away from the "JCs", hence are to be minimized. Proles are, after all, expendable meat, so why spend anything on them?
/"JC" mode.
