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.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine:
Today I signed Executive Order 2025-06D directing Ohio Department of Job and Family Services to provide up to $25 million to help Ohio families who will be most impacted by the anticipated suspension of federal SNAP benefits.

While it is no substitute for the relief U.S. Senate Democrats could provide today by ending their filibuster of SNAP benefits and approve the clean continuing resolution passed by the U.S. House, our plan will help get more resources into the household budgets of the Ohio families who need it most.

Not entirely heartless.


Yes, it shows some fracturing in the party, which is good. I have at least one person on my FB timeline, a paraplegic, who will be impacted by SNAP, but he's in Massachusetts, so I'm expecting him to be helped out.

25 states sue Trump administration over SNAP food stamp freeze during shutdown

Updated on: October 29, 2025 / 9:04 AM EDT / CBS News

Washington — A coalition of officials from half of the states and the District of Columbia sued the Trump administration on Tuesday over the suspension of food stamp benefits amid the ongoing government shutdown, as millions of Americans brace for a disruption in federal food aid in the coming days.

SNAP and WIC are necessary programs, and as Albaby showed us the poor are doing better than the working or middle class - though you couldn't tell. I'm sympathetic with the working class, but they all want new trucks to work in. :) If you follow tools on marketplace, sometimes you'll see a group of tools for sale that were bought for one project to be used by a laborer and they blow them out very reasonably. The fellow that does my lawn doesn't have a new truck. :)
