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.

Soon, counties and other local governments will extract money from Big Oil for material damages. IF someone is on the side of said counties and against Big Oil that means they believe Big Oil caused material damages. AND - that means that VP Harris is all for continuing material damages and only weening off said damages in a slow "market" driven way. Paging the seals and wildlife - you may want to up the PPO level on your health plan. We're gonna keep spilling that shit on you lol.

Anyway...... speaking of "transition".....and "market" deciding on a responsible transition......

npr.org - What is fracking explained

"When she first ran for president in 2019, Harris had said she was firmly in favor of banning fracking — a stance she later abandoned when she joined President Biden’s campaign as his running mate, to side with his opposition to such a ban. Despite the Biden administration's sweeping initiatives to address climate change, the president has also overseen the largest oil boom the U.S. — or the world — has experienced."

THE LARGEST BOOM IN HUMAN HISTORY IN FOSSIL FUELS.

The "largest boom" is an orderly transition and certainly shows commitment to said transition. So if you wanna go on a diet, eat your largest boom ever of Big Macs and donuts, I guess.

Ugh I'm tempted to vote for her -- though she's too anti-immigrant. Need to have George W Bush pull her leftward on that stuff.
