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.

Club 401K'er.....

Self segregated into White 401K bubbles while shouting "diversity"

Whining about "tax the rich!" while they love every tax advantage they. can get.

Whining about "fairness" but hate tipping. They'll say "pay a fair wage!!!!" ---not realuzing that the cost gets passed on anyway but they look down on people.

Shouting "$15 an hour" - not realizing it's a meme they started a decade ago - but refuse to up the amount because it ruins the meme....nevermind all the inflation over the years.

They shout "racist!" well BEFORE Trumo when people whined about illegal immigration ------BUT they whine loudly about H1B visa immigrants. They don't want their overpaid white 401K asses to compete with cheap labor -- but poor and middle America have to, replete with school and hospital crowding and resource dilution.

They shout "nativist!" "racist!" and those who had the evil in their hearts to say "let's have more assimilation. A common language, a common culture. The melting pot is great---let's keep it, or it will turn to a mosaic ---and then tribes"---- yet when France, Germany, Austria, and many other of the Europeans they always hold up as examples of enlightnment ban hijabs, demand their language be spoken, their norms be followed----Club 401K is silent.

ENCOURAGING bad culture. And attacking those who speak agianst it. No, not from a "that is sin! you'r going to hell!" angle. BUT - they can't stand when someone pointed out - certain communities have 70% births out of wedlock. The nation has 34% ---by and large it's a ticket to povery and prison, and financial desperation and stress and the ensuing things that happen from said stress. That while we can't mandate family ---we CAN, via dialogue encourage it---versus this hodge podge shit that is costing the sytstem money, When people said that THIS cultural breakdown will drain money from other important things - Club 401K shouted "racist!" "extreme!" and persinally attacked --- well, now their stupid ass education, climate, etc---is seeing funds stripped away :)

OnePoorGuy, these are just a few examples.

Basically go to Whole Foods, Yoga class, they'll be there. Go to their self segregated enclaves - they're there.

You asked, I answered. Disclosure: I don't care any more - now i want these bad things to happen, and i am elated they are happening.
