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.

C'mon, Mike. You're better than that, as you've shown recently with your understanding of the situation with the bill.

What you basically said is "a bunch of people with no specialized knowledge about this think so, so I'm gonna go with that".

Biden had done nothing because there is nothing he can do without a law change. I believe you have accepted that. I wasn't aware, but apparently Biden did try an end-around, but the courts called it back.

Certainly I will not claim he represents your policy preferences, but there is no actual data supporting the notion that he is "allowing" it when he could stop it.

The Biden T-shirts indicate the migrants know who is encouraging them to come.....

That aside, I don't accept that "Biden had done nothing because there is nothing he can do without a law change."

He could be advocating for changes in the law, articulating the urgency, explaining the risks of non action, etc with all the enthusiasm, volume, and frequency he does for something he actually cares about like climate change. The fact that he doesn't should inform you of the level of his concern for this issue.
