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.

A vacation might do you some good.

Sad. I always have to be the one who holds up the rotting intellectual husk that is liberalism:

manhattan.institute - The agenda behind buttigiegs claim that highways are racist

“Black and brown neighborhoods have been disproportionately divided by highway projects or left isolated by the lack of adequate transit and transportation resources,” Mr. Buttigieg tweeted in December. In an interview earlier this month, he reiterated that “there is racism physically built into some of our highways” and said the infrastructure program includes money “specifically committed to reconnect some of the communities that were divided by these dollars.”

Mayor Pete is quite thoroughly a moron.
And progressive policies are equally moronic.

Long live the reign of Mamdani in New York!

The best part will be this board and the chain of reactions you people will have to him winning:

1. He wins.

This board: Yay! Now we’ll try the socialism we always denied we we were for!

2. His policies start go to south:

This board: it’s racist to oppose him!

3. When he eventually fails:

This board: I never supported him in the first place! It’s a lie to say I did!

4. A couple of years after his failure:

This board: We’ve never tried socialism!

Rinse and repeat. Stupidity is repeatedly doing dumb things. Insanity is doing them over and over again. Progressivism is quite literally both.
