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.

Chances of US citizens perceived as opponents of the administration being jailed without credible evidence: no comment.

All you have to do is look at the internment camps for Japanese ancestry during WWII to see the possibility. (No such treatment for those of German descent, being visibly undetectable as different.) Including those who had been US citizens for generations and born here. Happily, these days we are not at war with Japan, but all too often here in the US, Asian is Asian, and the tariff war with China could be enough. With the introduction of El Salvador and disappearing "dangerous criminals," as defined by the orange one and without due process, the risk becomes higher.

If a dozen people had to guess as to the country of origin of our kids, you would get a dozen different answers. If they are allowed to open their mouths, it would be quite clear. Both our families came to this part of the world in 1700.

IP,
