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.

...but I am still the main care giver for DH and don’t have the time to go over the thread.

Yeah, I get that. 1poorlady had to get cancer surgery in April of 2019...COVID was jamming the hospitals, surgeries were being canceled. But hers was considered emergent. So they did it outpatient, instead of three or four days in the hospital. I ignored pretty much everything except her for the next few weeks (and then again during her chemo).

That was certainly more important than keeping up with the news, or a message board.

But you can take my word for it, albaby and BHM had a very illuminating discussion. Very civil, lots of honest questions and factual answers. It was good.

Trump can promise all he likes, but neither he (nor anyone else) will be able to deliver. Part of the issue is that they aren't "illegal". Coming to US soil and requesting asylum is entirely legal. And there are no limits, unless you can evoke Title 42 during a health crisis (which Trump did). There is no health crisis, so the courts will shoot down any attempt at invoking Title 42. I know you will vote for him anyway, but just know that if he promises to do anything, it's a lie. He can't. Not without congressional action. And that just died. So we will have unlimited asylum-seekers, legally, and there is nothing anyone can do about it (except Congress).
