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.

I forget the name but g-xyxyxyxxyxy said the above quote, I'm paraphrasing.

And where the hell are all the dems in Congress screaming to high heaven about what's going on?

And for that matter, where the hell are Kamala, Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc?
****

Unlike most of you people I can talk politics and strategy without ideology and preference.

First off, none of those people can "do" anything. If they see a burning building, and have no water, and not enough people even care about putting out the fire - there's nothing Clinton or Bush or anyone can do - today.

IF Wall Street and others who run the world don't intervene then yes, I see a W Bush, an Obama, a Bill Clinton either individually, or more likely - TOGETHER.

BUT, not today. More of the population has to 'feel' the effect. That makes a few more ears open. And when old Presidents talk it brings back nostalgia and Americans, who are forgiving people - and instant gratification people - will not remember the bad, and only look on "man, those guys were great" - regardless who it is.

AND such an intervention would have to be done IN CONCERT with a handful of RED and Blue Congress folk in that after the "big speech" - you dont cut to commercial. Within 1 hour you start seeing legislative things happen in some way shape or form.
